Crispy Peas Snack Recipe
This probably makes our family abnormal but we love peas here in our home. Fresh peas, frozen peas, peas in a pod, shelled peas…you name it, we will eat it. My boys love peas so much that they will head out to the garden every single day in the spring and summer and eat any peas they can find.
I love peas because they are healthy and prolific in the summer in the garden AND inexpensive in the winter at the stores if you buy them frozen. There aren’t many organic veggies that you can buy for $1/lb, but frozen peas is one of them so it makes sense that we try and make the most of them.
I’m always looking for new, cheap snack recipes that I can add to my Snacks Under $1 list and today I’m sharing a new one with you! Perfect for all the fresh and frozen peas that you can find right now.
Crispy Peas Snack Recipe
What You Need:
- Peas
- Olive Oil
- Salt
If you are using frozen peas, begin by rinsing the peas under warm water so they can thaw.
Once they’ve been rinsed, place the peas on a clean towel or paper towel and let them dry for a minute or two. If you are using fresh peas, you can skip both of these steps and start with the next one.
Place the peas on an ungreased baking pan. I use a large stone baking sheet. Drizzle the oil over the peas and sprinkle on the desired amount of salt (you could also use onion salt, garlic salt, or even Seasoning Salt for different flavors). Use your fingers to move the peas around and try to get each of them coated with oil and salt.
Bake the peas at 425 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until peas are crispy.
Serve warm or at room temp. Store in an airtight container.
Does your family enjoy eating peas? Will you try this Crispy Peas snack recipe?
Wow, this sounds good. Are they as hard and crunchy as roasted garbanzo beans? While the garbanzo beans are good they are too hard for my liking.
No, definitely not hard and crunchy, more of a soft with a crisp texture.
Thanks, Merissa. I’ll be trying these this weekend.
Great idea! I can’t wait to try them 😀
I’ve been constantly craving peas lately. (I guess my body knows they’re in season.) These sound like such great snack! I love the simplicity of it!
Bet these would be good with nutritional yeast! I’m gonna try this. SOON!!!

great recipe……….just tried it out and my kid loved it!! Thanks!!
This recipe looks sooo good! Am wondering if it would work with store bought canned peas? Just put my snap peas in.
I’ve made it with frozen (thawed) peas so I don’t see why not.
Hello Merissa,
I cooked it for my husband and he loved your recipe!
Thanks for sharing!
Looks delicious! I love peas so I’ll be making these soon. Any idea how long one batch would keep for in a jar?
These are best if enjoyed right away 🙂
Can you use canned peas?
I think they may work but I haven’t tried them in this recipe.
My husband bought a bag of green vatanna peas from amazon. He’s diabetic and he read that that the green vatanna peas can lower his blood sugar. Can I use your recipe with these peas
I’ve never heard of those peas before so I’m not sure how they would work in this recipe.
How do you store these? Are they totally dried? Will they remain fresh for more than a few days?
We don’t store them, we just make them to eat right away.
Can these be made in an air fryer?
I don’t have an air fryer so I’m not sure.
