Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams snap peas
- 3 medium shallots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Rinse the snap peas under cool water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Trim off the stem ends, if necessary.
Peel the shallots and slice them thinly into rings, about 1/8 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the snap peas and sliced shallots. Drizzle with olive oil, then add kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the snap pea and shallot mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the vegetables are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the snap peas are tender-crisp and the shallots are lightly caramelized.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the roasted vegetables with lemon zest for a bright, fresh finish.
Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy immediately as a side dish or light snack.
