Peas on Toast with Mint and Radishes

Published: Mar 11, 2019 by Kate Hackworthy · 23 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Peas on toast with mint and radishes is a vibrant and fresh, Spring-like vegan brunch, breakfast or lunch. You only need 5 ingredients and 5 minutes for this tasty recipe.

Avocado toast has been a trend that I've fully latched onto. It's surprisingly versatile and I love avocado and strawberries on toast as well as avo toast with turmeric, black pepper, chilli flakes and fresh lime juice. Yum. I also love beetroot hummus on toast topped with an avocado rose. 

But what about a different green toast? Enter: Peas on Toast with Mint and Radishes. A springlike, vibrant and delicious vegan breakfast recipe. 

Why should you make Peas on Toast? 

- Quick and easy recipe
- Use fresh or frozen peas
- Try with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice
- A nice alternative to avocado toast
- Vegetarian and vegan recipe
- Perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner
- Only takes 5 minutes!
- Make it gluten free by using gluten free bread

This Peas on Toast recipe was originally published on 21 July 2015, and republished with new text and photos on 11 March 2019.

Slices of toast covered in peas and radishes on a wooden table.

Peas are one of those staples that most people have on hand in their freezer.

You know those mornings, those awful, awful mornings, when you pick up an avocado for breakfast only to cut in and either be faced with brown mush, dark strings or a solid, flavourless underripe fruit? It's rather sad, isn't it?

Avocados have such a short window of perfection. Sigh.

That's where the humble pea comes in. Peas won't let you down.

They won't come on too strong or too bland; they're dependable. A good, honest veg where you always know what you're going to get.

They're fast to make and you've got something green to eat. Plus, they're really good for flicking at people. Ahem.

So let's cook peas in just a few minutes, while the cold-brew coffee slowly drips.

Then we'll add some fresh mint leaves and crush them beneath the prongs of a fork so the little green balls burst satisfyingly and fill the air with the smell of summer. Spread them on your favourite toast - whether rye, gluten-free, sourdough or sliced. They will make everything vibrant, green and happy - I promise. A few slices of peppery radish makes it even better.v

    Don't get me wrong, avo on toast is great but peas on toast are even better. The freshness is gorgeous. Thanks for the recipe.

    Those are some pretty peas there! Since winter doesn't want to give up I've been serving as colorful a meal as I can just to keep our spirits up. This toast is about as cheerful a lunch as I could possibly come up with. It's so colorful with some great flavors and textures. I'll be serving this one soon.

    Ooh yum! I had radishes... and peas are always in the freezer so I made it for lunch. So quick and easy and I love the flavor. A change from avo toast for sure.

    Peas are always on hand, so this was so easy to make. I have a pot of mint growing so made it all like yours (except the radishes I left out as I didn't have any). Sooo good!

    What an interesting idea Kate. I love avocado on toast and radishes but never thought of eating my bread with mashed peas, very clever!
    You are sooo right about avocados, I really hate when they are not ripe enough or have brown spots inside... it is like a lottery, you never know what you will get.
    Thank you for liking to my samosas by the way 🙂
