Servings: 6 side servings
Calories: 82kcal
Ingredients
- 1 16-ounce bag frozen peas (regular peas, not petite)
- 1 head garlic cloves peeled
- 1 yellow onion cut into thin slices or thick chunks (to cut into thick chunks, slice in half through the root, slice off the both ends, and then slice each half into quarters like you would an apple)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons plant-based butter or an equivalent amount of your preferred oil such as olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425° F.
- On a full-sized baking sheet, add the frozen peas, garlic cloves, onion slices, salt, and pepper.
- In a small ramekin, add 4 tablespoons of vegan butter and heat in a microwave just until melted.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the sheet pan and mix everything together immediately until evenly coated. The butter will start to harden around the frozen peas—that’s ok!
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, toss and mix everything, and pop it back in the oven for another 10 minutes, until the onion just starts to brown at the corners. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
While they're best fresh, you can store extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, just throw them in the microwave for a minute or two or do a quick sauté in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through.
