SUGAR SNAP PEAS with BACON & PARMESAN


Published: Friday, June 26, 2026

4 bacon strips

1 lb. fresh sugar snap peas, stem ends and strings removed

½ c. red onions, finely diced

1 oz. Parmesan cheese, shaved

1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

¼ tsp. black pepper

 In a large cold frying pan, lay out the bacon strips without overlapping. Turn on the heat to medium and cook bacon, flipping occasionally until golden-brown and crisp, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from pan and place on a paper-towel lined plate. Set aside.

Pour the excess bacon grease from the pan into a heat safe container for disposal, leaving a thin layer of oil behind. Set the stovetop temperature to medium-high heat and add the snap peas to the frying pan. Sauté peas until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients. Place in a serving dish and top with chopped or crumbled bacon. Best served immediately. —4 to 6 servings.
