5-Minute Snow Peas Recipe
Snow peas are a cold weather crop so they are harvested in Spring and Fall. Since the seeds aren't fully mature, they have a mild, sweet delicate flavor.

Ingredients
- 16 ounces 1 bag snow peas
- olive oil or butter
- sea salt
- lemon zest and juice
- freshly ground black pepper or red chile flakes optional
Instructions
- Prep the snow peas. Grab any hard stems and pull to remove any thick fibers that might be unpleasant to eat.
- Sauté, season, and serve. Heat a skillet over medium heat and coat with a glug of olive oil (about 1 tablespoon). Add the snow peas and stir occasionally cooking just a few minutes. Season with salt (pepper, too, if you’d like) and shave some lemon zest over top (a quick squirt of lemon will brighten the green color even more). Serve as a bright, crisp side to salmon or enjoy as-is!
