Follow The Directions

01

Step

Position oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a mixing bowl, gently toss the sugar snap peas with olive oil to ensure they are lightly coated. Arrange the peas in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle a touch more olive oil over the top and season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate small bowl, thoroughly combine the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the sugar snap peas. (1 minute)

04

Step

Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler. Cook until the sugar snap peas are lightly browned and the sugar has beautifully caramelized, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning! (5 minutes)

For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. These caramelized snap peas are also enjoyable at room temperature.
Adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar to suit your personal preference. A little extra cinnamon can add a warm, spicy note, while more sugar will increase the sweetness and caramelization.
Ensure the sugar snap peas are dry before tossing with olive oil to promote better browning and caramelization.
Broiling times may vary depending on your oven. Keep a close eye on the peas to prevent burning.

    My kids actually ate their vegetables! I'll definitely be making this again.

    Quick, easy, and a great way to use up snap peas. I added a little ginger to the cinnamon sugar mixture.

    These are great as a side dish or even as a snack. I made a big batch and they were gone in minutes!

    I was skeptical, but these were surprisingly delicious! The cinnamon and sugar combo is genius.
