If you are looking for a healthy alternative to snack chips or pretzels, give baked seasoned peas a try. Peas, which are in the legume family, are full of protein, healthy complex carbohydrates, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, iron and vitamins K, C and B complex. Peas often are frozen within a few hours of being picked, which seals in their fresh flavor and allows you to bake and enjoy them all year round.
Step 1
Thaw 1 1/2 lbs. of frozen peas in the refrigerator overnight. If you are short on time, you can place the peas in a colander and run them under hot water, allowing them to drain.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 225 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick oil.
Step 3
Lay the thawed peas on the baking sheet in a single layer, to ensure more even cooking.
Step 4
Bake the peas for three hours. Stir the peas or shake the pan every 30 minutes.
Step 5
Prepare the wasabi mixture by combining rice wine vinegar, wasabi powder and dijon mustard in a bowl and whisking.
Step 6
Remove the peas from the oven, and add them to the bowl with the wasabi mixture. Coat the peas with the mixture.
Step 7
Transfer the peas back to the baking sheet using a spoon, again arranging them in a single layer.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the oven for 20 more minutes, again at 225 degrees F.
Step 9
Allow the peas to cool for five minutes, and then transfer them to a bowl or plate and serve.
