Melt In Your Mouth Freeze Dried Sugar Snap Peas Ep251

Freeze Dried raw Sugar Snap Peas are pretty good. But in my opinion cooking them first is a game changer as far as texture goes. These crunch just like a chip. I do a comparison between the raw and cooked at the end so check it out.

Blanch for 3 minutes. Put in cold water. You can add a pinch of baking soda in the blanching water to keep the color. Best of both worlds. I do this with celery and beans as well. Don't overcook. I usually eat these a bit cooked as in stir fry once re hydrated. Or as is.

[@dashmo37]

I wonder if just blanching them in lightly salted water would be good. If you follow the blanching with a ice bath they would retain the bright green color

[@rabeccalassek9511]

That sounds good too. I'll have to try that too.

[@JohnInBibs]

I like that idea

[@cindygreen6900]

You come up with some great ideas 💡.

[@JohnInBibs]

Thank you! 😊

[@stevecorcoran9869]

We've had good luck with seasoning the peas after we put them on the trays but, like you said, we learned the hard way to go REALLY light on the seasoning until we figured out exactly what they would taste like once freeze dried.

[@MaxfieldFamily]

What seasonings have you enjoyed the most? About how much seasoning did you use? Trying these for the first time and want to get it right.

[@rabeccalassek9511]

You are up late! LOL I have to make some of these for my husband. He loves sugar snap peas anyway. Love your ideas John!

[@XaYaZaZa]

I'm surprised you don't have to puncture the pods to let moisture out while freeze drying them

[@JohnInBibs]

Me as well, works great though

[@HelenSab]

Loving the ASMR on this video!! Crunch crunch🤗🤗

[@amandaaskew7606]

Yum!!!!

👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you for testing both cooked and uncooked in the same batch for comparison. 🙏🏼 You mentioned baked SNPs by mistake. Do you think you could ROAST some to get a bit of char on them and then freeze dry those? Seems like that might be really great. As for the raw ones being slightly bitter vs the cooked. I would bet that bitterness is from the pesticides used on non-organic produce. The cooked ones, perhaps, had it washed off a bit since they were boiled for 15 minutes. Maybe? Thanks, John. Great video. I LOVE the raw comparison! ❤️

[@JohnInBibs]

Sounds like a great idea

[@amy3458]

@@JohnInBibs Yes! Please try it. I bet they would be delicious as chips/snacks OR rehydrated as a side dish! 🙏🏼

[@cjking1358]

How long did you freeze dry the peas?

[@Baneironhand]

What did you use for seasoning? I might try a batch with some Old Bay or some Chipotle. once again gonna have to buy all the peas and try all the things.

[@JohnInBibs]

Soy sauce and beef powder/I put too much in the mix LOL

[@marthafearsme]

Blanch your veggies. Delish.

[@sharonfulton9345]

Have you used them in dishes or did you rehydrated them?

[@JohnInBibs]

In this video I made them for dry snacks

[@elisabethchikeles3769]

How long did you freeze them for?

[@JohnInBibs]

I pretty much prep one day and freeze overnight then load and run the next day

[@randall7717]

I tried a batch but the peas inside didn’t dry. Do you have any suggestions?

[@JohnInBibs]

I don't know, how long did you run them? The peas in my sugar snaps were very small

[@randall7717]

@@JohnInBibs normal automatic run with 4 hours extra dry time. I just snapped them in half and am re running now

[@eileenniehaus5368]

Beard appears to be gone.

It was just too hot! And I don't mean sexy hot but hot hot LOL

I thought the same, beard gone 🤗
