Description
Garlic Parmesan Sugar Snap Peas are a flavor-packed side dish that transforms humble sugar snap peas into an irresistible delight.
Ingredients
1 pound fresh sugar snap peas
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoon olive oil
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. 1. Rinse the sugar snap peas under cold water and trim the ends, removing any tough strings.
2. 2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden.
3. 3. Toss the trimmed sugar snap peas into the skillet with the garlic, stirring to coat them evenly in the oil and garlic mixture.
4. 4. Season the peas with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of fresh black pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences.
5. 5. Once the peas are tender-crisp, remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top, giving everything a gentle toss to combine.
Notes
For variations, consider adding lemon zest or fresh herbs like thyme or basil.
These peas pair beautifully with grilled or baked proteins and complement pasta dishes well.
