Hi friends! How many of you grew up hating your peas? I was one of those kids. However, we learn in nutrition that the more a person is exposed to a food, the more likely they are to grow to enjoy it – especially in adulthood.

Sugar snap peas are now one of my favorite vegetables – especially when they’re prepared this way. 😀 Plus, did you know that 1 cup has about 40 calories (that’s a lot of peas), and they’re loaded with vitamins, minerals and also provide you with protein & fiber?

So next time you’re craving a crunchy, satiating snack, instead of reaching for the chips, give this a go!

*Recipe is vegan, gluten free, dairy free.*

YOU WILL NEED:

1. 1 cup sugar snap peas, raw 😀

 

D I R E C T I O N S:

1. Heat about 1 tbsp olive oil in a large, non-stick pan on medium heat.
2. Once the pan is warm, add whole, raw peas.
3. Add about a teaspoon of each: black pepper, garlic powder, dried ground herbs (of choice), and salt.
4. Toss the peas in the pan making sure they’re coated in seasoning and oil alike.
5. Add about 1 tsp red pepper flakes – or more if you like it hot!
6. Continue to cook peas -stirring occasionally- until the skin appears wrinkled (about 7 minutes).
7. Remove from heat and serve!

 

Be careful, you may want to eat the entire serving (and in this case, that is ok). 🙂

Thanks for reading and I hope you try it!
