The Perfect Veggie Side Dish – Sesame Snap Peas

We all know that it’s a good idea to incorporate more vegetables into our diets, but sometimes it gets difficult to come up with a good veggie side dish recipe that isn’t bland.  After a while, no matter how much you season them, steamed or roasted vegetables can get boring.  These Sesame Snap Peas are a yummy change of pace and taste great along side so many main dishes.

You won’t regret  keeping the simple soy sauce mixture recipe handy, because you can use it on a multitude of other vegetables.  Try it with carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, or even a mix of vegetable to add extra flavor.
