Ingredients
- 450 grams sugar snap peas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Wash the sugar snap peas thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
Trim the ends of the sugar snap peas if desired, but this step is optional.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar snap peas, olive oil, minced garlic (chop the garlic cloves finely), kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the peas evenly.
Step 5
Spread the sugar snap peas out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Step 6
Roast the sugar snap peas in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, shaking the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Remove the peas from the oven once they are lightly browned and slightly crisp-tender. Sprinkle lemon zest over the peas and toss lightly.
Step 8
If you’d like a cheesy finish, sprinkle the roasted peas with parmesan cheese while they are still warm.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack and enjoy!
