Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a grill pan on your stovetop.
Rinse the snow peas under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Trim the ends if needed.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a mixing bowl, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the snow peas to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let them sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Place the snow peas on the preheated grill or grill pan in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for another 2-3 minutes until they are tender-crisp with light char marks.
Transfer the grilled snow peas to a serving dish and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy!
