Oven-Roasted Peas (from Frozen)
These crispy roasted peas will see those lonely legumes at the bottom of your freezer transformed into a tasty snack that's vegan and gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (300 g) frozen green peas (see notes)
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).
- Defrost the peas by running under water in a colander then spread them out on a kitchen towel. Gently pat dry to remove as much excess water as possible or, if you have time, simply leave them to dry on their own (15 minutes if already thawed / a couple of hours from frozen).
- Drizzle the oil over a baking sheet. Add the green peas, sprinkle with salt, and shake gently to create an even layer. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, shaking the pan regularly.You'll notice that the peas on the outside of the pan cook more quickly than those in the middle, so it's important to move them around.
- At the 20-minute mark, check the peas to see how they're doing and continue to roast for up to 10 more minutes if you want them crispier (being careful not to overcook).
- Once crispy, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before eating.
Notes
Peas: I used green 'garden' peas, which are larger than petits pois. If using petits pois, bear in mind that these are smaller and will roast more quickly.
Fresh peas: If using fresh shelled peas, note that the cooking time may vary slightly.
Storage: Allow the peas to cool before storing in an airtight container for up to several days. They'll be at their best just after roasting.
Air fryer: They'll cook slightly faster in an air fryer, so check them after 10 minutes and remember to give the basket a good shake every now and then.
Other flavours: After 15 minutes or so, feel free to add seasoning such as paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, or dried mint. Shake to coat and return to the oven for the remaining cooking time.
