Edamame… What a great discovery for those of us who like to munch! Packed with protein and fiber, these little green gems make a fun, satisfying, skinny snack or appetizer. Normally boiled, I found they’re supremely tasty when roasted. I’ve generously seasoned them before popping in the oven. Be sure to make oodles of these wonder veggies because they take minutes to prep before roasting and disappear as quickly…
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
- 1 pound bag frozen edamame (in pods), thawed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, chili powder, onion powder, cumin, and paprika.
- Spread the thawed edamame on a baking pan. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the top and toss to coat. Arrange edamame in a single layer on the baking pan.
- Roast uncovered in oven for about 12 to 15 minutes until they start to brown. Season with more salt and pepper, if desired.
- Serve warm. Roasted Edamame can be prepared a day in advance, refrigerated and warmed before serving.
