Ingredients:

Here's an overview of what you'll need to make this Dry Roasted Edamame, but keep scrolling for the full recipe amounts.

  • Edamame: This dried Edamame recipe simply uses frozen edamame. You can usually find already-shelled edamame in the freezer section of your grocery store. To get the right ratio of olive oil and spices, use a 12-ounce bag. But if you can't find that you can tweak the olive oil and garlic salt. You don't need to do any prep work on the edamame. There's no need to thaw them or even pre-cook them in the microwave. Read below for all the health benefits and information about edamame, if you aren't familiar with it.
  • Garlic Salt: Garlic salt gives these little crispy bites so much flavor with no fuss! If you are sensitive to salt, you can use garlic powder and just add a little sea salt.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Use the classic refrigerated grated parmesan cheese.
  • Olive Oil: Just a touch of olive oil gives this edamame enough flavor and oil to become crispy.

All About Edamame

What is edamame?

Edamame beans are whole, immature soybeans, which are part of the legume family. They are lighter green than regular soybeans, which are often light brown, tan, or beige. Soybeans are versatile food that is also made into soy protein, tofu, tempeh, soybean oil, soy sauce, and miso.

Edamame beans are often sold in pods, but you can often also find bags of just the green beans, which is what you need for this recipe.

Is edamame better raw or cooked?

All soybeans must be cooked before you eat them. Frozen edamame is often cooked by simply steaming them, but you can also roast them in the oven, like the recipe.

Is edamame good for you?

Soybeans are good for you! Despite any rumors about soy being unhealthy, it's not! It's a naturally cholesterol-free food that has no saturated fat.
