Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Optional Extras

  • Salt
  • Garlic powder
  • Chili powder
  • Parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Oven
  • Paper towel or clean cloth

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F.
  2. Thaw peas by running under warm water. Drain well and pat dry with a paper towel or clean cloth. The drier they are, the crispier they get.
  3. Toss peas with oil and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and any seasonings if you have them.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until peas are shriveled and crispy.
  5. Let them cool on the pan for a few minutes. They get crunchier as they cool.

Notes

  • Pat them dry. This is the most important step. Wet peas will steam instead of crisp.
  • Don't crowd the pan. A single layer with some space between peas gives you the best crunch.
  • Store in an open container. They'll stay crispy for a day or two at room temperature. A sealed container can make them go soft.
  • Great chip replacement. If you're craving something salty and crunchy, these do the job for a fraction of the cost.
