How to Prepare Sugar Snap Peas
Similar to other popular vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage, the key to perfectly cooked sugar snap peas is all in the way you prep for your vegetarian meal plan.
To prep sugar snap peas, follow these simple instructions:
- Rinse your sugar snap peas thoroughly under cold water to remove dirt or debris.
- Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or kitchen roll.
- Trim the ends and peel off the tough string along the seam, if needed.
Once prepped, sugar snap peas can be quickly blanched, stir-fried or sautéed, retaining their signature crunch and sweetness. They pair well with garlic, sesame oil, citrus or toasted nuts, making them a versatile ingredient for both warm mains and refreshing side dishes.
With your peas prepped, now you can easily make a tasty vegetarian meal, such as our sautéed asparagus & sugar snap peas recipe or go for something light like this mixed pea, mint & almond salad.
