Healthy Sugar Snaps

One of my most favorite veggies is the sugar snap pea. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and is delicious all on its own, but try this suuuuper simple recipe that will give your peas a bit of a kick. Perfect for when you want something simple and healthy!

What you will need:
- Sugar Snap Peas (Any amount)
- Salt & Pepper
- Garlic Salt
- 1-2 Minced Garlic Cloves (Optional)
- Olive Oil or Coconut Oil

Directions:
Make sure that your sugar snap peas are free of the coarse ends and stringy binding. Then wash them if you haven't already. Proceed to turn up your heat to high and set down your saute pan. When your pan is heated up, add your choice of healthy oil (sounds ironic...haha), then toss in your sugar snap peas. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic salt to taste. The ratio of salt & pepper to garlic salt should be about 1:1. Try not to use too much regular salt since you are using garlic salt. Turn down your heat to medium or medium-high, depending on your stove. Then add your fresh minced garlic if you decided to use it. Cook the peas for a total of around 10 mins. Make sure the peas are still a bit crunchy but little more tender than when raw. Enjoy!



Place a napkin on your plate to draw away excess oil (Optional)
