Instructions
Prepare the oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pro tip: Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Mix the seasoning
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, wasabi paste, salt, and sugar. Mix well until smooth.
Pro tip: Adjust the amount of wasabi paste if you prefer a milder or spicier flavour.
Coat the peas
Place the drained peas in a large bowl. Pour the wasabi mixture over the peas and toss until evenly coated.
Pro tip: Ensure all peas are well-coated for even baking.
Arrange on baking sheet
Spread the coated peas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Pro tip: A single layer ensures even cooking and crispiness.
Bake the peas
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway, until peas are crispy and golden.
Pro tip: Check peas towards the end of baking to prevent burning.
Cool and serve
Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Pro tip: Cooling on the baking sheet allows the peas to firm up further.
