Ingredients
- 400.0 g frozen green peas (thawed and thoroughly dried)
- 1.0 tbsp olive oil (for coating)
- 1.5 tsp smoked paprika (use sweet or hot to taste)
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.75 tsp fine sea salt (divide, or to taste)
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper (freshly ground if possible)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C on a standard setting and let it heat for 10 minutes, so the peas start roasting immediately and crisp more evenly.
- Pat the thawed peas very dry with kitchen paper for 2 to 3 minutes until the surfaces feel matte rather than wet, because excess moisture will make them steam instead of bake crisp.
- Toss the peas in a mixing bowl with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, half of the salt, and the black pepper for 1 minute over a gentle hand motion until every pea is lightly coated and evenly coloured.
- Spread the seasoned peas in a single layer on the lined baking tray and leave a little space between them, then bake on the middle shelf for 15 minutes at 200°C until they look slightly wrinkled and the coating smells toasty.
- Remove the tray and shake or turn the peas gently, then return them to the oven for 10 to 15 minutes at 190°C until many of the peas feel firm, sound dry when moved, and show crisped edges.
- Taste one carefully after 2 minutes of cooling, then sprinkle over the remaining salt while still warm if needed, because the seasoning will cling better at this stage.
- Let the pea bites cool on the tray for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature until they become noticeably crisper, then serve once they are dry to the touch and crunchy in the centre.
- Store any leftovers in a loosely covered container once fully cool and, if they soften, refresh them in the oven at 180°C for 3 to 5 minutes until crisp again.
