Tips for Baking Frozen Peas
- Thaw frozen peas partially before baking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Use a baking sheet that is large enough to spread the peas out in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Toss the peas with olive oil, salt, and pepper before baking. This will help them brown and add flavor.
- Bake the peas at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) for a short amount of time (10-15 minutes). This will help them retain their color and nutrients.
- Serve the peas immediately after baking. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
Conclusion
Baking frozen peas is a quick and easy way to prepare a healthy and delicious side dish. By following these tips, you can ensure that your peas turn out perfectly every time. Enjoy!
