Recipes for snap peas?

[brux]

We've been getting the free meal boxes from our school district this fall, and the boxes always come with a ton of produce.  More than we can usually eat, but I want to make an effort to be better that it.

This week, we got this - a large bag of sugar snap peas.  I know I can eat them raw, but truthfully I'll do that once or twice and have a ton leftover until they spoil.

Does anyone have recipe suggestions for what to do with all these snap peas?

[ponyhairs]

I would use them in a stir fry.

[sweptaway]

I like this- you'd just have to cook them a little longer if you like them softer

Or any kind of stir fry. DS prefers them raw though so he'd eat them that way, too.

[rosalind]

I'd probably roast them with some fox point from Penzey's, olive oil, and salt. You could stir fry them, salad toppers, maybe in a pesto type pasta dish or alfredo?

I adore these. I just dip in hummus and eat.

We've made these quite a few times, very yummy.

I love snap peas bleached and then tossed with a little melted butter and mint. Also delicious this way with some pasta.

ETA: basically, the recipe

I love them raw. I also loved them sauteed in a little sesame oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds a minute amt of salt.

I make a stir fry chicken pita. Basically stir fry vegetables and chicken in teriyaki sauce placed in a folded pita that has melted Swiss cheese inside (holds it all together). You pick it up and eat it like a taco.

Sauteed in butter with garlic, salt & pepper...so good.

I don't have a wok.  Do I need one?

[brux]

These are all great suggestions. I going to eat these freaking pea pods!

A place by my house has an appetizer that dips them in beer batter and deep fries them and serves with garlic aioli dipping sauce. I could eat countless orders of those.

H roasts them in the oven and I love them.

Sautéed with oil & garlic/ginger

Stir fry with the rest of the veggies in soy sauce/ginger/garlic/onion

Or dipped in hummus/Greek yogurt ranch. I will eat half a pound in a sitting.

What other produce do you have? I love meal planning.

I have a bag of baby carrots and of carrot coins.  And then about 100 apples.  It's so random what we get, but I'm thankful for the free food!

No. I don’t. I use a regular non-stick frying pan.

I've made this with the coins and the regular baby carrots.

I am slightly jealous. We are currently storing frozen fruit and applesauce cups for a year, and that is after sharing with neighbors. Also frozen corn.

We get so many individual orange juice cups, so I've been having mimosas and giving DS juice nearly every day.  So there is some wacky stuff too.

awesome!

I've roasted the coins with a jerk seasoning in the oven and we all really like that.  It doesn't taste as good on baby carrots, so I appreciate this option!

[zoeylucy]

Carrots roasted with salt, pepper, lemon and thyme are amazing. A little olive oil, 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes

[zoeylucy]

Most veggies I don’t love I’ll eat roasted in the oven. Except broccoli. That can fuck right off.

Homemade applesauce is delicious and easy, even you could make it. It uses up a ton of apples.

will you wear a mask and drive up here to make it for me?  pretty please?

but that could be a good weekend activity for this damn winter at home.

This summer we had so very many carrots. These 2 carrot recipes are a hit here.

I cut back by 1/2 on the sugar.

If you don’t have an IP, this is a good one too

A friend gave me a carrot cake recipe that was really good too, I will have to look it up, if you need one.

Apples cooked down in a crockpot is amazing. You don't even have to add sugar if you don't want. I add cinnamon and brown sugar to mine. Stir it every 2 hours or so and enjoy the delicious fragrance.

So many tiny orange juice cartons and apple juices. Over the summer I ended up getting a hand juicer because the amount of oranges was absurd: 20 apples and 20 oranges every week.

And make fruit roll ups by spreading it onto parchment paper and putting in the oven at the lowest temp until the right texture - not quite dried but just past sticky.
