Oh snap are these good! Lightly grilled with a little olive oil and salt, these little delights make a perfect snack or side dish. A little drizzle of sesame oil goes a long way for adding some toasty flavor.

ingredients

1 1/2 pound sugar snap peas
2 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt
toasted sesame oil (optional)
toasted sesame seeds (optional)

directions

Preheat the grill to Medium-High.

Place the sugar snap peas and olive oil in a quart size food storage bag. Close the bag, removing as much air as possible. Gently massage the sugar snap peas until they evenly coated with the oil.

Wipe the vegetable grill basket by dipping a soft cotton cloth in vegetable oil and lightly coating its interior. Place the vegetable grill basket on the grill and pour the snap peas from the zipper bag into the basket.

Grill the sugar snap peas for 3-5 minutes, or until they develop a nice brown color on the "grill side". Turn the vegetables over to grill on the other side.

(Cooking time varies with the freshness of the produce (generally, the fresher the vegetable the faster it will cook), so keep an eye on them and remove them from the grill when they are browned slightly but not charred.)

When the sugar snap peas are finished grilling, place them on a serving platter and sprinkle lightly with sea salt. A light drizzle of toasted sesame seed oil and a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds is optional.

  1. twilightfan REVIEW:

    Laughed about the comment regarding how overly detailed the instructions are but appreciate that they were overly detailed and not lacking in detail! Simple recipe but nice way to grill some veggies to go along with whatever protein you are grilling (for us that was chicken)

  2. 10lbstogo REVIEW:

    Did these snap peas on the grill while I cooked some salmon on a cedar plank. Nice healthy dinner. The directions are maybe a little more detailed than they needed to be (do you really need a whole sentence on how to grease a grill basket?) but all in all I appreciated the recipe and will make it again.

  3. MP REVIEW:

    Did these in a grill pan and they turned out pretty tasty!!!

  4. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Making these on the grill tonight! can't wait!
