How to Make Roasted Green Peas
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Position the oven rack in the center for even cooking.
- Place the frozen peas in a colander and rinse them under warm running water for about 1 to 2 minutes. This quickly removes the ice coating.2 Cups Frozen Green Peas
- Dry Thoroughly. Spread the peas onto paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Pat them completely dry, then allow them to air dry for another 30 to 40 minutes. Removing as much moisture as possible is the secret to crispy roasted peas.
- Season. Transfer the peas to a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, and garlic powder if using. Toss until every pea is lightly coated.1 Teaspoon Olive Oil, Sea Salt, ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Roast. Spread the peas in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 50 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through cooking.
- The peas are done when they are lightly golden and crisp. They'll continue to become crunchier as they cool.
