Looking for a different way to enjoy peas? These Protein Pea Sticks turn a simple vegetable into a fun little snack that is perfect for dipping, lunchboxes, or enjoying straight from the oven.
The mixture takes just minutes to prepare. Everything goes into a blender, then the smooth mixture is shaped into sticks and baked until lightly golden. Peas provide plant protein and fiber, while the egg adds extra protein and helps bind everything together.
They are especially nice when served warm with your favorite yogurt, hummus, or another savory dip.

Note
Why You'll Love These
Protein-rich & filling
The combination of green peas and egg provides both plant and animal protein. Peas also contribute fiber, making these more substantial than many typical snack foods.
Simple ingredients
There is no flour, oil, or complicated preparation. Just blend, shape, and bake.
A fun way to eat vegetables
Turning peas into crispy little sticks makes them much more snack-like and can be a fun option for kids and adults.
Easy to customize
Change the seasoning depending on what you are serving them with. Try garlic powder, paprika, oregano, black pepper, chili, or dried herbs.
Notes
For the best texture
The mixture should be smooth and thick enough to hold its shape. If it feels too loose, let it sit for a few minutes before shaping.
If you don't have a strong blender
A hand mixer works too. Blend the peas as smoothly as possible so the finished sticks have a nicer texture.
Make them crispier
For a firmer, crispier snack, make the sticks thinner and bake them a little longer, watching carefully toward the end.
Seasoning ideas
Garlic powder and paprika are great for a savory version. Oregano, Italian herbs, chili, or a little grated Parmesan can also work well.
Serving idea
Serve them warm with Greek yogurt dip, hummus, cottage cheese dip, or your favorite savory sauce.
