Sugar Snap Peas With Garlic – An easy side dish recipe that only takes 10 minutes to prepare and calls for a few ingredients. This recipe can be made with sugar snap peas or snow peas.
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

I saw sugar snap with lemon. Does this one tastes different?
Mike says
Yes. It would taste like garlic, not lemon.
