Crispy Split Peas

Makes 1 tray

Ingredients:

1. 250g split peas

2. 2 TBS olive oil

3. Salt to taste

4. 2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, if you wish it spicy)

Directions:

1. Soak split peas in water overnight.

2. Drain and pat dry.

3. Add olive oil, salt and cayenne pepper and mix well.

4. Bake for 10-12 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 200 degree celsius (take out and stir and put it back to the oven for the last 2 mins).

5. Cool and serve, or store in air-tight container.

Additional Information:

I added 2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, which is rather spicy, but we like it that way. If you wish just a little spicy, but not too much, 1 teaspoon would be sufficient. I used 2 tablespoons of olive oil, but 1 tablespoon may be sufficient.
