"These sugar snap peas are one of our favorite side dishes. They go very well with different meats such as beef, poultry and even fish. They are also very delicious on their own, which I often eat for a light lunch. The best results are achieved when using fresh. I've used frozen and it is very good, but not to the same level as the fresh."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 2

Remove and discard the stem end and the string from each pod. (If this is not removed, you will find yourself having to spit it out when chewing, so you want to make sure to remove it).

Step 3

Rinse pods under cold running water. Pat dry.

Step 4

Spread sugar snap peas in a single layer on a cookie sheet (that have ridges). Sprinkle with the olive oil, finely diced onion, and thyme.

Step 5

Season with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle with sugar if necessary. (The sugar addition is only needed if the sugar snaps are not in season and lack natural sweetness. Adding the sugar is all a matter of taste).

Step 6

Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, until tender crisp.

What a tasty side dish...we really enjoyed the thyme..at first I thought it might be too much but it wasn't...I did use the optional sugar and think it added a nice sweetness to the dish...made for "FYC" tag game...

First time roasting sugar snap peas! I used less onion than called for, just a personal preference. So fresh tasting and delicious!! Thanks for sharing!

I was pleased with this recipe. I didn't have the right kind of thyme, however. I used the kind in the spice bottle. I think I put too much on, but I still really liked it, and so did my husband. I used the sugar because we had to get ours out of the frozen section. This is really healthy, too. Thanks for posting.

What a wonderful recipe! We loved these. I made as written using freshly picked sugar snap peas and would not change a thing. Even though I did not use the sugar option these were still sweet, crisp and delicious little morsels of goodness. The perfect side vegetable to any dish. I will be making this again for sure!

The roast time is right on. The peas still have some snap to the. Lovely combination of flavours with the peas, onion & time. This recipe will be enjoyed many more times
