Ingredients
- 400 grams sugar snap peas
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic (optional, finely minced)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Rinse the sugar snap peas thoroughly under cold water and gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
Trim the ends of the sugar snap peas if desired, though this step is optional as their ends are often tender and edible.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar snap peas with olive oil, thyme leaves, kosher salt, black pepper, and minced garlic (if using). Toss everything together until the peas are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned sugar snap peas out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sugar snap peas are tender-crisp and start to develop a slight golden color around the edges.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the peas to cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Transfer the roasted sugar snap peas to a serving dish and enjoy them warm as a side dish or a healthy snack!
