Roasted Spiced Edamame
Edamame pack a dose of protein and fiber to help keep you feeling full and satisfied.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pound edamame in the shell, fresh or frozen and thawed, 16 ounces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 420˚F. In a small bowl, mix the salt, cumin, chili powder and red pepper flakes in olive or avocado oil. Set aside.
- Pat the edamame (in pods) with a paper towel to dry (*this is very important to ensure a crispy finish), and place in a large mixing bowl. Liberally mist edamame with olive oil spray and sprinkle on the seasoning blend. Mix everything with hands or tongs, to evenly distribute the seasonings throughout the entire batch.
- Place edamame on baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through to crisp both sides. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Edamame pods: The edamame pods (the “shells”) are not meant to be eaten in this recipe. This dish is enjoyed the same way edamame is served at a Japanese restaurant: gently squeeze the pod between your fingers or teeth to pop the beans into your mouth, then discard the shell. The pods are simply there to hold onto the seasonings and make the experience fun and interactive—only the beans inside are meant to be eaten.
