I love roasting vegetables as a rule of thumb. I know people think in the South we fry everything but, I can honestly say oven frying or roasting is my absolute favorite cooking technique. There are a few things to remember, it’s important to keep these snap peas in a single layer on the baking pan. So, if you’re doubling, don’t crowd the pan use two instead to give them plenty of room. Also, go to the very little trouble of grating the Parmesan yourself. It makes the world of difference and you’ll never go back to the canned stuff again. Serve these with steak and baked potatoes, Asian dishes, meatloaf, grilled chicken, glazed pork chops and beyond there’s no end to the meals these roasted sugar snap peas will compliment.
