Beyond their delightful crunch, croutons can negatively impact salad healthiness due to high sodium and unhealthy fats; consider roasted veggies like peas for a better alternative.
To achieve a satisfying crunch with roasted peas, start with frozen peas; defrost, dry, and mix with olive oil and seasonings like garlic powder or paprika.
Once coated, roast peas in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, shaking occasionally; cool before consuming or storing in a jar for a short duration.
While croutons are a traditional salad topping, swapping them for roasted vegetables can enhance the healthiness of your meal and add a unique texture.
