Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. Happy Memorial Day everyone! It’s the official start to summer and that means easy, relaxed living and of course cooking. I’ve got just the recipe for you. This 5 minute Chili Garlic Sugar Snap Peas dish is perfect for a quick summer side.
5 Minute Chili Garlic Sugar Snap Peas
I love to cook with seasonal vegetable as much as possible. When I saw these fresh sugar snap peas the other day I knew they were destined for a delicious an easy side. i love the crunch of them and they are so easy to prepare. Did I mention that sugar snap peas have a high fiber content to keep you full and satisfied? They also offer 100% of the DV for vitamin C in addition to a hefty serving of Vitamin K.
When I say that these Chili Garlic Sugar Snap Peas take only 5 minutes and one pan, I mean it. The easiest way to make them is to blanch them in boiling water for minute. Drain them and shock them in a bowl ice water for a minute. In that same pan, sauté your garlic and chili paste for about 30 seconds. Add back in the veggies and toss for about 1 minute. Add in a dash of salt and pepper if desired. That’s it! Eat them warm or at room temperature.
These pair beautifully with almost any protein from chicken to fish to tofu to beef. Even picky veggie eaters will love the crunchy, flavorful taste of these. Leftovers (if you have any) make a great afternoon snack. Hope you give them a try!
Tell me, what spring and summer veggies are you enjoying and cooking now? How do you like to enjoy Them?
5 minute, 1 pan easy chili garlic sugar snap peas are the perfect nutritious and delicious side to any protein I like to use chopped garlic from a jar and Sambal chili paste. Immersing the peas in a bowl w ice works well to keep them crunchy and dark green

Notes
The first time I discovered snap peas was in the US. We don’t seem to have them here. I’ll have to keep looking.
So easy to make and so healthy, too!
Well that is interesting!
I love spiced up veggies like this!
me too easy and delish!
That dish looks delicious. I eat a lot of veggies expecially in summer.
Thanks me too!
SUGAR SNAPS!
I am seriously a kid around them. We used to grow them growing up and I’d eat them right off the vine. While there are some f/v I won’t pay current prices for – looking at you, grapes, I will always pay for sugar snaps. They’re part of the reason I’m at the grocery store more than I should be at these times.
WIll have to try this way.
My breakfast this morning was cucumber with olive oil and chili flakes. HIghly recommend that as a summer snack
I always love cucumbers too! You just reminded me that I have some summer cucumber salads I like to create. Let me know what you think of the sugar snaps!
ooh can’t wait to see your cucumber salad recipes. They’re so refreshing in summer. In fact I think I have part of a pepper calling to me to turn into an israeli salad
I’ll let you know on the sugar snaps. Line for fairway was half a block today and nope, rather be outside
I love Israeli salads too!
Such a great and easy way to add a lot of flavor to snap peas!
Thanks I agree!
This looks great, I’ll have to get some sugar-snaps on my shopping list for next week so I give it a try.
Thanks for the tip on using ice to keep them crunchy too. Not heard that one before.
Great hope you enjoy!
I love sugar snap peas and usually just eat them plain (or dipped in vegan ranch). These sound much healthier and delicious!
I forgot how good they are!
These sound good! I never think to look for snap peas in the store, but the seasonings sound like a great mix.
I forgot how good they were and super easy too
These sound delicious, and a fun new way for seasoning. Love that it’s one pan.
Thanks super easy!
