Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen shelled edamame, thawed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the edamame and achieving a crispy texture.
- Dry Edamame: Pat the thawed edamame completely dry using paper towels; removing moisture is essential for getting that satisfying crunch.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the dried edamame with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, tossing until everything is evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated edamame in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- Roast: Roast the edamame in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Cool and Serve: Let the roasted edamame cool slightly before serving them as a crunchy, flavorful snack.
Notes
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the other seasonings for an extra spicy kick.
- Ensure edamame is completely dry before tossing with oil and seasonings to maximize crispiness.
- Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
