How to Make the BEST Parmesan Panko Sugar Snap Peas Recipe

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make the best recipe for Sugar Snap Peas: 4 cups of fresh sugar snap peas, panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, onion powder, lemon pepper and garlic salt.
  • Kitchen tools you’ll need: Large sheet pan, cheese grater, small bowl, medium bowl, measuring cups and spoons.
  • When roasting any peas in the oven it’s important to arrange these sugar snap peas in a single layer on the baking pan so they’ll bake crisp and golden and not steam. Stacked peas will steam rather than roast.
  • I don’t recommend roasting frozen sugar snap peas. Fresh is best.
  • Should you choose to double the recipe, don’t crowd the pan. It’s best to use two pans instead to give them plenty of room to crisp in the oven.
  • It’s very little trouble to grate fresh Parmesan cheese. It makes the world of difference in flavor and you’ll never go back to the canned stuff again.
  • I’ve never found it necessary to blanch the sugar snap peas prior to roasting. Give them a good cleaning and let it dry on the counter on paper towels for a bit before proceeding with the recipe.
  • I don’t typically serve these roasted sugar snap peas with a sauce but you could. A drizzle of sweet hot Asian chili sauce or a brown sugar Teriyaki marinade would both be yummy.
  • While these peas are best made and eaten, you can store leftover roasted sugar snap peas for up to 2 days in the refrigerator, Store in a container lined with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
  • You can reheat leftover roasted panko Parmesan sugar snap peas on a sheet pan in a preheat 375°F oven for a few minutes. You can also reheat in single portions in the microwave. Please note when doing so, the crumbs will not stay crisp once they’ve been chilled.
