Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
Toss the snap peas with sesame oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper.
Cook for 2 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. These peas are best when a bit of crunch is left.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds to taste, and serve immediately.

Heat an indoor grill for several minutes until hot. If you are using an outdoor grill, you may need a vegetable grilling plate so your peas don't fall between the grates.
Spray the peas with a thin layer of oil and toss with salt & pepper.
Add the peas to the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender. You may need to work in batches, depending on how large your grill is.
Remove peas from heat, squeeze lemon juice over top and sprinkle with feta cheese and mint.
Serve immediately.

Heat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Toss the peas with olive oil, salt and pepper, then with the parmesan, panko breadcrumbs and lemon zest.
Arrange on the baking sheet and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
Serve immediately.

1- I don't recommend subbing the snap peas for another variety; snow peas are thin, and pea pods of English peas are not edible.

Storage

These recipes are best served fresh, but can be safely stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
