Roasted Sugar Snap Peas Recipe are ready in 10 minutes! Sprinkled with garlic, thyme and salt, they make such a easy side dish or snack. I like to bake these crunchy sugar snap peas to serve over pasta or rice for a simple dinner!
Roasted Sugar Snap Peas Recipe
We grow so many sugar snap peas in our garden that we happily look forward to eating them every Summer! Not only are they delicious raw (one of my family’s favorite snacks) but they are SO GOOD roasted!!
It’s as simple as adding these crunchy peas to a baking sheet, covering them with olive oil and seasonings and then baking for 10 minutes – boom, they’re done! Seriously, they’re so easy to make!
From there you can decide what to do with them. You can serve as a side dish, you can snack on them, or we love roasting them for a simple fresh dinner, served on top of rice or pasta. I mean seriously, give me some roasted sugar snap peas, pasta and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and you got a big bowl of happiness!

Baked Sugar Snap Peas Ingredients
- sugar snap peas, you will need half a pound but you can double if you’re making more. If you don’t have sugar snap peas you can use snow peas instead!
- olive oil, to coat the peas
- seasonings: minced garlic, dried thyme and salt. Don’t have thyme? Use dried basil instead!
How to Roast Sugar Snap Peas
Snap off the stems and remove the strings from the sugar snap peas. This is the longest part of the process!
Add the peas to a baking sheet. Aluminum foil is optional. Covering the sheet with foil makes easy cleanup, but I think they roast better directly on the baking sheet.
Add olive oil and seasonings on them, stirring to fully coat them.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until browned.
Remove from the oven and eat them all! Enjoy!
How to Serve Roasted Sugar Snap Peas
- Serve it as a crunchy afternoon snack! They’re especially great with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese!
- Serve it as a side dish to really anything. When it’s sugar snap pea picking season I throw these on the side for every lunch my kids eat!
- Serve for dinner on top of a bowl of pasta or rice (this is our go to favorite way to serve!).

Excellent side dish. Purchased some fresh from the farmers market. I followed the recipe except I used basil (dried). Delicious and very healthy!

I feel soooooo good looking at those tiny bitter gourds clinging on to the flower! <3 These sugar snap peas look INSANELLLLLLLY delicious!!! So perfect for evening snacking when I tend to crave a lot of savory stuff!

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! 🙂
Kathy @ Olives & Garlic says
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.

I love sugar snap peas and these look awesome! And they are just so pretty – love that bright green color!
Michelle says
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!) 🙂
Pamela says
Yum Michelle, I’ll be over for dinner! 😉

Isadora @ she likes food says
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 🙂

Monica says
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.
Suzanne says
I love sugar snaps, usually just eat them raw but I love the idea of baking them. They look fab!!
Emma | Fork and Good says

Kelly @ Trial and Eater says
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!
Cate @ Chez CateyLou says
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!
