Garlic roasted peas are a simple and delicious side dish or snack that perfectly complement a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and require only a handful of ingredients, making them a go-to choice for health-conscious cooks. The key is to roast them until they're crispy and golden while infusing them with the rich aroma of garlic.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that it is hot enough to roast the peas properly.
If using fresh peas, shell them and rinse under cold water. If using frozen peas, thaw them completely and pat dry with a paper towel. Dry peas roast better and achieve a nice crispiness.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peas, olive oil, salt, and garlic powder. Toss the peas until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned peas in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure they aren't crowded, as this will allow them to roast evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the peas for 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even roasting. The peas should be golden brown and slightly crispy when done.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the peas to cool for a few minutes before serving. They will continue to crisp up a bit as they cool.
Serve your garlic roasted peas as a snack, side dish, or crunchy topping for salads and soups.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen peas. If using frozen peas, ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking to prevent sogginess.
- Spread the peas evenly on a baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking.
- Stir the peas occasionally during roasting to promote even browning.
- Add additional seasonings like black pepper, paprika, or fresh herbs after roasting for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, as they tend to lose crispiness over time.
Garlic roasted peas are a wonderfully easy dish that combines crispiness with the aromatic flavor of garlic. Perfect as a snack or a side, this recipe requires minimal effort for maximum satisfaction. Enjoy your garlic roasted peas fresh from the oven and savor the delightful crunch and robust flavor!
