Sugar snap peas are one of my favorite vegetables. I eat them raw with hummus, or just on their own. I realized I never cooked with them and started experimenting. I found that I love them in stir fries, but my favorite method is simply grilling them.
This is hardly a recipe, but I tossed the sugar snaps with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Use whatever seasonings you have on hand. Then just grill them using a grill basket. You can’t screw them up.
By the way, if you don’t have a grilling basket you are missing out. I use mine all the time. I think I bought it at Bed, Bath & Beyond for under $10. A great deal. I may need to get another one soon because I always leave it outside to cool and inevitably forget about it out there. I am surprised I haven’t “lost” it yet.
I would recommend buying the stringless variety of sugar snap peas. I have made the mistake of not doing that before and regretted it. They are certainly edible, but annoying. You could take the time to de-string all of them but that is about as annoying. Just let someone else do the work for you.
