Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Snap Peas

    Rinse the snap peas under cold water and trim the ends.

  2. 2

    Char the Snap Peas

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the snap peas and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly charred but still crisp.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Seasoning

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Prepare Sunflower Seed Crunch

    In a separate small skillet, toast the sunflower seeds over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown and fragrant.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the sunflower seeds are toasted, combine them with the charred snap peas and fresh herbs. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, toss gently, and serve immediately.
