Sugar Snap Peas with Garlic Recipe
Description
Sugar Snap Peas with Garlic Recipe focuses on cooking fresh sugar snap peas using a simple skillet sauté method. The peas maintain their snap and sweetness as they cook in heated oil with seasoning. Trimming the stems prepares the peas for even cooking. The initial cooking softens them while keeping a satisfying bite.
After about five to six minutes of stir cooking, the heat is lowered and minced garlic is stirred in for a short time, infusing aroma and pungency without overcooking. This results in a light, flavorful dish with a balance of garlic sharpness and fresh pea sweetness.
This recipe can be served as a vegetable side to accompany main courses, adding color and crunch to a meal with minimal ingredients and time.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. sugar snap peas about 3 cups, fresh
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil (or your preferred cooking oil)

- Add the pea pods, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes stirring often. Remove from heat.
