Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams sugar snap peas or snow peas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Rinse the sugar snap peas or snow peas under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Trim the ends if needed and remove any strings along the edges.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peas with the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the peas are evenly coated.
Spread the peas out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the peas are tender and slightly caramelized.
Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with lemon zest and optional Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
