Grilled Sugar Snap Peas with Spicy Peanut Sauce
The sugar snap peas at Tumbleweed Farm are abundant and wonderful. And while my favorite way to enjoy a fresh snap pea is raw, straight off the vine, I think these grilled peas are the next best thing. We whipped these up for a happy hour snack and dipped the lightly charred peas into a spicy peanut sauce. If you’re looking to make this a complete meal try grilling some tofu or chicken, whip up some rice and serve with the dipping sauce for a simple dinner. Regardless if you make this a meal or happy hour snack I’d recommend serving these tasty snap peas with a cold beer and good company.
Cheers from Tumbleweed Farm!
Grilled Sugar Snap Peas with Spicy Peanut Sauce
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 5 minutes Serves: 4
Spicy Peanut Sauce- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 3 Tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 large clove of garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (if you are sensitive to spice try 1/8 teaspoon first)
- 2-3 Tablespoons of water
- 1 pound sugar snap peas
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- pinch of salt
Preparation
- Whisk together all the ingredients for the peanut sauce until smooth and creamy. Taste test and adjust seasonings as needed. If the sauce is too thick add a touch more water to thin.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Toss the peas with the olive oil and salt. Set a wire rack or grill basket on the grill grate and grill peas, turning occasionally, until lightly charred. About 4 minutes.

I love sugar snap peas – such a good idea to grill them! And we make a lot of peanut sauce around here, so I’ll have to try pairing the two.
Happy Monday!
