Roasted Edamame

This is my first time trying edamame (soybeans), and I think it turned out pretty yummy!

Ingredients

1 ½ cups edamame (thawed and toweled dry, if frozen)

2 teaspoons of olive oil

¼ teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder and ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Line a baking sheet with heavy foil. Place the oil in a medium bowl and add edamame. Stir to coat thoroughly with the oil. Mix all the spices together in a small bowl, then dust the edamame with them, stirring to combine well. All salt and pepper, as desired, and stir again.

Spread coated edamame onto the baking sheet in one layer. Bake for 7 minutes then gently stir with a spatula. Bake for another 7-9 minutes, or until starting to get golden.

These come out slightly crunchy, and a bit chewy, but the flavor is great. Best when warm (they get chewier as they cool). Great addition to a salad in place of croutons, or add to pasta for a bit of texture.

Happy munching!
