Sugar Snap Peas Recipe
Growing Sweet Peas
It’s a bit funny that I’m posting this recipe just as about we’re to tear up our green beans and plant our Fall sugar snap peas. Soon our boxes will be cleaned out with long beans and the sugar snap pea seeds will be put into the ground. Then we’ll start the watch of seeing the peas grow from sprouting from the ground to seeing who can make it to the top of the fence first.
Every year we grow sugar snap peas twice because we just can’t get enough. They are a favorite crunchy snack but they also go hand in hand with some of our favorite meals. Give me some sugar snap peas, pasta and a little olive oil and you got a big bowl of happiness.
With a big harvest of peas I wanted to come up with a sugar snap peas recipe that took them to that extra step of yum? The result…
Roasted Sugar Snap Peas
I’m in love with these roasted sugar snap peas! Perfect for dinner or snacking!
After you’re done the fun process of removing all the stems from the peas you’re pretty close to a finished meal as these only have to be baked for 7-8 minutes.
Not only are sugar snap peas delicious raw (one of my favorite Summer snacks!) but they taste so good roasted too!
How do you cook fresh snap peas?
They’re roasted with a few simple ingredients, olive oil, garlic, thyme and sea salt. That’s it.
You are going to put the sugar snap peas in a single layer on a baking sheet that’s been covered with aluminum foil (easy clean up!). Coat peas with olive oil, garlic, thyme and salt. After they’re mixed up, bake for 7-8 minutes and they’re ready to be eaten!
And the result is the most delicious peas you’ve tasted! They make a great side dish to meat or vegetarian meals!
Or consider them a “add in”. We love adding them to a big bowl of pasta with some garden broccoli and radishes too! We call this “Pea Pasta” in our house. This is one of our favorite garden meals!
Whatever way you chose to eat these Roasted Sugar Snap peas – you won’t regret it! Enjoy this healthy recipe!

Your peas are gorgeous! I love how simple yet how delicious this recipe is! I made an orzo salad wih snap peas the other day, but I really wish I had some of your homegrown ones – they look so green and fresh!
These look delicious and addicting! I can see myself eating this whole lot 🙂 I think I’ve only had snap peas in rice dishes. I’d love to have so many fresh ones in my backyard!
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, this is perfection!!
I love sugar snaps, usually just eat them raw but I love the idea of baking them. They look fab!!
Love this recipe, Pamela! For some reason, I never liked snap peas as a child but I really do now. That crunchy sweetness is so good. I love this idea of roasting them – kind of like blistered green beans that I keep reading about but you get to do it easily in the oven. I need to go get some snap peas – hopefully the farmer’s market could have some on Sunday.
Your photos are GORGEOUS Pamela – I don’t even like sugar snap peas but after looking at your photos – I am craving them! How??? 🙂
Happy Friday my friend

Love sugar snaps.. these baked versions looks delicious.. I can totally clean off the delicious plate of sugar snaps in one go.. yummmm! ! 🙂
This looks delicious! Is it bad that I don’t take out the string because I’m lazy? I love to eat them raw too 🙂 I bet yours are incredibly sweet!
These look so good! Lulu adores snap peas. I can’t wait to make these with her!
These peas look delicious! I love baked/roasted veggies – they always turn out so yummy. But, I’ve never had baked peas before – great idea!
Snap peas are one of my favorite veggies to snack in! I just love the crunch when you bite into them, but I have to tell you Pamela, now that I see them with all the spices and in that baked goodness, I can hardly wait to try them that way! It looks amazing. Pinned!
Oh my gosh, these peas look SO good, Pamela! I’ve never even heard of roasting sugar snap peas before, let alone tried it! Something tells me I’m gonna have to change that. These look absolutely gorgeous!
I love sugar snap peas, and these look delicious! I could eat that entire bowl!
Pamela, we love all those vibrant green sugar snap peas you harvested! Mmm they taste so good raw or only with a little olive oil, garlic and herbs 🙂
Looks delicious. Love sugar snap peas.
What beautiful sugar snap peas!! And there are so many! I don’t think I’ve ever even thought to bake them before, what a great idea! I used to love those crispy snap pea things that you can put on top of salads, but I’m not really sure if they were made out of real peas or not, haha! These look like such a great snack and I will be trying them soon 🙂
Sugar Snap Peas are my favorite vegetable but I’ve never baked them. They look so delicious cooked that way! Can’t wait to try this recipe. 🙂

My mouth is watering over these gorgeous snap peas! I love eating snap peas raw or cooked and yours look amazing and so so fresh! Stunning photos too girl – I feel like I just want to pick up a few snap peas straight from the screen!
Perfect timing on this post! The original plan for tonight was to simmer sugar snap peas with carrots, but now I am thinking of baking the two instead. Serving it up with some salmon and smashed red potatoes (with cheddar!) 🙂
Yum Michelle, I’ll be over for dinner! 😉
I love sugar snap peas and these look awesome! And they are just so pretty – love that bright green color!
Yum, these are one of my favorites! I love the recipe too!
These peas look so yummy. I remember as a kid I would open the shell and only eat the peas but now I absolutely love the entire thing. I have to give this recipe a try. Would love for my daughter to love it too.
Oh Yummo! What a lovely recipe, Pamela! I would never have thought to bake snap peas, but it makes sense, caramalised deliciousness in a pea, so good! 🙂
Thank for being part of the Hunger Action program. Kudos1
I’m LOVING this recipe Pamela!!!!! I love how you grow your own food and that inspired me to start my own small garden hehe! Nothing big, just a bitter gourd plant!

Just finished dinner with these as our side dish. They were great. The sugar snap peas were from our garden. I’m sure we will have these many times over the next months, it’s wonderful to eat seasonally. Thanks
