We grow so many sugar snap peas in our garden that we happily look forward to eating them every Summer! Not only are they delicious raw (one of my family’s favorite snacks) but they are SO GOOD roasted!! It’s as simple as adding these crunchy peas to a baking sheet, covering them with olive oil and seasonings and then baking for 10 minutes – boom, they’re done! Seriously, they’re so easy to make! From there you can decide what to do with them. You can serve as a side dish, you can snack on them, or we love roasting them for a simple fresh dinner, served on top of rice or pasta. I mean seriously, give me some roasted sugar snap peas, pasta and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and you got a big bowl of happiness! Looking for more fresh pea recipes?

How to Roast Sugar Snap Peas
Snap off the stems and remove the strings from the sugar snap peas. This is the longest part of the process! Add the peas to a baking sheet. Aluminum foil is optional. Covering the sheet with foil makes easy cleanup, but I think they roast better directly on the baking sheet. Add olive oil and seasonings on them, stirring to fully coat them. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until browned. Remove from the oven and eat them all! Enjoy!
