  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Drain and rinse the split peas. Pat dry with a paper towel. Return split peas to bowl and add the olive oil, stir. Add all the spices and stir to coat the peas completely.
  • Spread the peas over the parchment paper and put into the oven to roast. Stir after 10 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes for another 10 to 20 minutes of roasting.
  • Check consistency after 15 minutes for amount of crunch you want. The longer you roast, the crunchier the peas become.

  • To a large pot, add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, canned beans, salsa, split peas – both roasted and dried, and spices.

  • Simmer until split peas are tender about 30 to 40 minutes. Serve with garnishes.
