Ingredients

• 500 grams edamame (in shell, fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (optional, freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

If using frozen edamame in shell, thaw them under warm running water and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the edamame pods, olive oil, kosher salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper, if using. Toss everything together until the pods are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned edamame in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.

Step 5

Roast the edamame in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. The pods should be slightly crisp on the edges and tender inside.

Step 6

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the roasted edamame cool for a minute or two.

Step 7

Serve warm as a snack or appetizer. To eat, gently squeeze the pods to pop the beans out and enjoy the flavorful coating on the outer shells.
