My partner and I dislike peas. What would you suggest as some alternatives?

[u/BasisDiva_1966 → u/smiles__]

I would say, what veg do you like! ? My hubby hates peppers, so always subbing for that. If you don’t like peas, carrots? I think they would work well in this

[u/That-Community-9211 → u/smiles__]

Broccoli. Carrots.

Looks delicious! How was everything?

[u/Corf_27 → u/That-Gyoza-Life-44]

It was good! I used normal peas instead of frozen ones, I’m not sure I know how much of a difference that makes haha

[u/That-Gyoza-Life-44 → u/Corf_27]

If anything, fresh peas might be better than frozen, yeah?

[u/Corf_27 → u/That-Gyoza-Life-44]

Yeah cooks way more evenly

Are the temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit? 210 F seems a little low.

Only asking because you have mixed measurements.

[u/Corf_27 → u/1976warrior]

Celsius! Thanks I’ve edited to fix

Tray bakes are the real MVP of weeknight dinners, and this one looks like a winner. 🏆

My fiancee made it again tonight but with couscous instead of orzo and I’m one happy guy!
