Edamame Snack Food

ROASTED EDAMAME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Toss edamame, olive oil, and salt together in a large bowl. Spread in a single layer in a shallow baking pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven until edamame are crispy, 20 to 30 minutes.

5-MINUTE SHELLED EDAMAME

Steps:

• Rinse the frozen edamame under warm water in a strainer, then shake off excess liquid.
• Smash and peel the garlic cloves.
• Add the toasted sesame oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the smashed garlic cloves and edamame and cook for 2 minutes until warmed through but still bright green.
• Add the soy sauce and stir until evaporated, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the salt. Discard the garlic cloves. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

SWEET AND SPICY SOY GLAZED EDAMAME

Steps:

• Cook the edamame according to package directions.
• In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes.
• Heat canola oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Once heated, add the garlic and ginger. Let cook for one to two minutes, stirring to avoid garlic from burning.
• Add in the soy sauce mixture and raise the heat to medium. Let cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce reduces to a glaze, about 5-7 minutes. Once you reach the desired glaze consistency, add in the cooked edamame and toss well.
• Use tongs to plate edamame. Pour any glaze left in the saucepan into a small dipping bowl alongside the edamame. Devour immediately.
• *I've made this without rice vinegar when I looked in the pantry and we didn't have any. It still came out great.
• **If you have a micrograter, you can grate the garlic and ginger if you want. That way it it dissolves into the glaze instead of having little finely minced chunks. If you try it this way, only cook the ginger and garlic for about 30 seconds. I've done it both ways. Totally your call, just wanted to give you the option ????

SPICED EDAMAME

Steps:

• Heat the salt, chili powder, and pepper flakes in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring until hot and aromatic, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and crumble in the oregano.

CRISPY EDAMAME

EDAMAME SNACK

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Add edamame to boiling water; cook until bright green and just tender, about 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer edamame to the ice-water bath to stop the cooking. Let drain; pat dry. Toss with seasoned salt. Edamame will keep, refrigerated in an airtight container, for up to 2 days.
