Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Toss the peas with the olive oil and spread in a single layer on a
rimmed baking sheet.

“Roasting has a way of bringing out the best flavor in most fruits
and vegetables, including fresh sugar snap peas. It’s a simple, hands-off
cooking technique that brings this side dish to the table in less than 10
minutes.”
