Snap Peas

Sugar snap peas have a natural sweetness that shines through in this recipe.  They are best when they still have a little crunch.  So, there’s no need to cook them for very long.  It’s the same if you are using snow peas.

How To Make Sugar Snap Peas

  • Heat some canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the pea pods, salt, and pepper.
  • Sauté for 5-6 minutes.

  • Add minced garlic to the snap peas
  • Cook for another minute.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat so the garlic doesn’t burn.

That’s all there is to it.  Some of the pea pods will have a little bit of browning on the edges, but they should still be a nice bright green.

    This recipe looks delish! Would it still taste the same with pressed garlic rather than minced? Thanks, Maryann
