Trim the ends of the snap peas and remove any strings if necessary. Set aside.
Rinse Brussels sprouts, trim the stems, and cut them in half lengthwise. If they are large, cut them into quarters.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, cut-side down, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to caramelize and become tender.
Add the snap peas to the skillet and continue sautéing for another 3-5 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss everything to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the sautéed snap peas and Brussels sprouts to a serving dish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
