We grow pea pods, and I wanted to use them in something other than stir-fries. This fit the bill! I've carried it to church potlucks and received compliments on its pretty orange glaze and fresh taste. —Josie Smith, Winamac, Indiana

2 medium carrots, sliced
2 cups fresh sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/3 cup orange juice
