Roasted Sugar Snap Peas Recipe
Not only are sugar snap peas delicious raw (one of my favorite Summer snacks!) but they taste so good roasted too!
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 next batch of 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…

How to Make 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.
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!) or silicone baking mats. 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 with practically anything.
Or consider them an “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 weeknight meals because of how easy and quick it is.
Whatever way you chose to eat these Roasted Sugar Snap peas – you won’t regret it! Enjoy this healthy recipe!

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! 🙂

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.

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!!

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!
