¼ cup plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
12oz fresh or frozen petite peas
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh mint

Preheat oven to 350℉.
On a large baking sheet, toss bread with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt. Bake 5 minutes on each side until lightly browned and crisp.
