Preparation
Step 1
Preparation:
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees and prepare a baking sheet. I covered mine with parchment paper, but you could also use foil or a cooking oil spray.
2.Thaw the green peas and pour off any water. Use a paper towel to gently pat them, ensuring they're as dry as possible.
3.Place peas in a mixing bowl.
4.Add the oil and toss to coat.
5. Now add all the other ingredients and toss again.
6.Spread the peas out on your prepared sheet.
7.Gently tamp them down with the back of a large spoon to ensure they're in a single layer.
8.Place them on the centre rack of your oven and bake for 1 hour.
9.Remove from oven and try them. I like mine very crunchy, so I usually shift them around a bit, then return them to the oven for another 20 to 30 minutes.
They will reduce to half their size, and should be brownish in color (see photo).
Allow to cool completely before covering or storing.
These peas will keep for weeks in a jar or other covered container (no need to refrigerate them).
Pair with a cold lager, a cocktail, or other drink of your choice, and ENJOY!
