Yeast Free Classic Peas with Mint
Bright, fresh, and ready in minutes, this simple side dish is the kind of thing that makes you wonder why you ever overthought vegetables. Frozen peas cook up vibrantly green and tender, then get tossed with melted butter, fragrant mint, and a hit of lemon zest that lifts the whole dish. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from yeast, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just clean, wholesome cooking from start to finish. The mint and lemon zest combo is genuinely surprising in the best way, turning a humble bowl of peas into something that feels a little special. It pairs beautifully with roasted meats, grilled fish, or really anything that could use a pop of color and brightness on the plate. Simple enough for a weeknight, pretty enough to serve to guests.
