Sugar Snap Peas with Garlic

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.
