step-by-step
instructions
1 Prepare the ingredients

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the rolls lengthwise, then cut each half crosswise into 4 equal-sized pieces. Peel and thinly slice the shallot. Pull off and discard the tough string that runs the length of each snap pea pod; halve crosswise. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lemon to get 1 teaspoon. Quarter and deseed the lemon. Pick the mint leaves off the stems. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, the juice of 2 lemon wedges, a drizzle of olive oil, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine.

2 Toast the bread

Transfer the bread pieces to a sheet pan, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake 7 to 9 minutes, or until toasted. Transfer to a cutting board.

3 Cook the vegetables & serve your dish

Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced shallot and halved peas; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly softened. Turn off the heat. Serve each piece of toasted bread topped with the lemon ricotta and cooked vegetables. Garnish with the mint leaves (tearing before adding). Enjoy!
