Asian Sugar Snap Pea Appetizer

Ingredients

  • 1 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons garlic flavored olive oil
  • 0.25 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 0.25 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 drops chili oil
  • 0.25 teaspoon packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Method

  1. Set your oven to broil and adjust the rack to the highest position.
  2. Arrange the trimmed snap peas on a baking tray, pour over the garlic olive oil, and toss them to ensure an even coating before spreading them in one layer.
  3. Broil the peas in the oven until they become tender, which should take about 5 minutes.
  4. While the peas cook, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, chili oil, brown sugar, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. As soon as the peas are out of the oven, transfer them to the bowl and toss with the prepared sauce.
