Often a vegetable that people forget about, these sugar snap peas are simple, yet flavorful.  Add these to your rotation for variety!

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 lb fresh sugar snap peas*
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • A pinch of Maldon sea salt at the end, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Remove and discard the stem end and string from each sugar snap pod. (if you can, as I mentioned the 2nd time I made this I wasn’t able to and they were still tender).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.  Add the sugar snap peas, salt and pepper and sauté, tossing occasionally for 3 to 5 minutes, until the sugar snap peas are crisp tender.
  3. Place the sugar snap peas in a serving bowl, sprinkle with sea salt and serve.
  4. Enjoy!  That’s it.  It’s really that simple.  Nothing fancy here.  Just simple and full of flavor.

Notes

*The first time I made this recipe I was able to get the sugar snap peas from a local farmer’s market.  The 2nd time, I used an 8-ounce package from the grocery store.  This recipe can be easily doubled and/or tripled, but I based it on the smaller package I used this last time.
