1
Prepare the Peas
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the frozen peas and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they are tender and bright green.
2
Drain the Peas
Carefully drain the peas in a colander, allowing any excess water to escape. Set aside.
3
Melt the Butter
In the same saucepan, reduce the heat to low and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
4
Season the Peas
Once the butter has melted, add the drained peas back into the saucepan. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder.
5
Toss to Combine
Gently toss the peas in the butter and seasonings until they are well coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
6
Garnish and Serve
If desired, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
