Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen edamame (shelled) thoroughly thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil light coating
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika adds smoky depth
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder enhances savory flavor
  • to taste sea salt generous sprinkle before roasting
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional, for brightness

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Silicone spatula or spoon
  • Parchment Paper or Silicone Mat

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the thawed edamame with a tablespoon of olive oil until each bean is lightly coated. You should hear a gentle sizzle as the oil coats the beans.
  3. Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of sea salt to the bowl. Mix again, ensuring the spices cling evenly and the beans start to take on a fragrant smoky aroma.
  4. Spread the seasoned edamame in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, shaking gently to avoid clumping. The beans should be evenly spaced for proper crisping.
  5. Roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the tray halfway through. Look for golden brown edges and a smoky aroma filling your kitchen.
  6. Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle the lemon zest over the hot beans for a bright, fresh contrast. Let the edamame cool on the tray for about 5 minutes, allowing the crispness to set.
  7. Serve the roasted edamame warm or at room temperature, enjoying their crispy texture and smoky flavor with a satisfying crunch in every bite.

Notes

For an extra spicy kick, sprinkle chili flakes before roasting. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days for maximum crunch.
