- Salt & Pepper. To taste.

Tips for best Roasted Sugar Snap Peas
- Don't add extra oil. This recipe calls for a little bit of oil, and you might be tempted to add some extra. However, just a little is needed to get the beautiful color and using extra will make them greasy.
- Use great tasting snap peas. Mann's brand has amazing sugar snap peas.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Arranging the snap peas in many layers causes them to stream instead of roast.
Recipe Variations
Here are a few ideas, how to change to try new flavors and never get bored with it:
- Add dried herbs. A pinch of dried Italian herbs, thyme, or basil, will make a great addition to this dish. Add the herbs together with the other ingredients before roasting.
- Add fresh herbs. Once the peas are roasted, sprinkle them with freshly chopped parsley, cilantro, or dill.
- Add Parmesan. Toss the roasted snap peas with ¼ cup of shredded Parmesan before serving.
- Make 'em spicy. Toss ¼ teaspoon (or more) of crushed red pepper flakes with the snap peas before roasting.
- Add balsamic vinegar. Right before serving drizzle a little high-quality balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze on top.
