Snap peas are already one of the most satisfying vegetables to snack on raw, but roasting them at high heat takes things to a completely different level. Tossed in olive oil with garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a touch of black pepper, they come out of the oven blistered, fragrant, and just barely tender with that signature snap still intact. The trick of preheating the baking sheet means the peas hit a hot surface the moment they go in, giving you those gorgeous charred spots instead of a soggy, steamed result. Everything in this recipe is completely compliant — no sneaky additives, no sauces to scrutinize, just whole ingredients you can feel good about. A finish of flaky sea salt right before serving makes the flavors pop in the best way. This makes four servings, so it's easy to throw together as a weeknight side or a shareable snack when you're deep in a reset and craving something that actually feels indulgent.
