Homemade Snapea Crisps?

[chicgail]

Calbee Snapea Crisps is marketed as a salad crispy add-on. I am totally addicted to it as a snack. The ingredients are listed as "green peas, corn oil, rice, salt" and some additives. Anyone know if there is a way for a home cook to make something similar out of real green peas?

Dang, these things are good! Anyone tried deep frying sugar snap peas?

I think they're extruded, much like cheese doodles, and would be really tough to duplicate at home. (ever notice how each snapea crisp looks identical to its brethren? Almost like a pringle...) I wanted to believe they were "real", but i think they're made from dehydrated peas and rice flour. They ARE good, though, and because they're green, they must be good for you, right? ;) adam

Rats. Say it isn't so, Adam!

I agree with adam. I've also become addicted to these. Have you tried roasted green peas with salt? (like wasbi peas without the tingle and burn)
