Instructions

  • Prepare the sugar snap peas by trimming the stem ends and removing the fibrous string that runs along the sides.
  • In a large nonstick skillet or sauté pan, heat coconut oil (or olive oil) over medium-high heat.
  • Add the snap peas and a generous pinch of kosher salt. Grate garlic directly over the top.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3–4 minutes or until peas are bright green and crisp-tender and the garlic is fragrant.
  • Season with fresh cracked pepper and more salt if needed.
  • Optional: Add lemon zest or a splash of lemon juice before serving.
