Prep Time: 15 minutes

Drying Temp: 135° to 155°F

Drying Time: 4 to 6 hours

Yield: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

4 cups fresh sugar snap or snow pea pods

3 to 4 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)

^1/2 tsp kosher or coarse sea salt

1 to 2 tsp olive oil, soy sauce, hot sauce, or water

PROCEDURES

1. Wash the pea pods, drain, and pat dry. In a large bowl, toss the peas with the yeast to taste (if using), salt, and 1 teaspoon oil, soy sauce, hot sauce, or water until well coated. If needed, add more oil, but don't overdo it if using oil, or your vegetables will be soggy instead of crisp—too little is better than too much. If using soy sauce, hot sauce, or water, use as much as you need to get the seasonings evenly distributed.

2. Arrange the pods on the drying trays in a single layer without overlapping.

3. Dry until crisp, at 135° to 155°F for 4 to 6 hours.
