Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups dried, shelled edamame preferably dried for even roasting
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for coating
  • a pinch sea salt prefer flaky for crunch
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika optional for smoky flavor
  • optional spices chili powder or other preferred spices

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone mat
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  2. Transfer the dried, shelled edamame into a mixing bowl and drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil. Toss well to ensure each bean is lightly coated.
  3. Add a pinch of sea salt and the smoked paprika (or other spices) to the bowl, then toss again to distribute evenly.
  4. Spread the seasoned edamame out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re not crowded for even roasting.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes. Every 5 minutes, open the oven and gently shake or stir the edamame with tongs to promote uniform browning.
  6. Watch for a deep golden color and listen for a crackling sound, indicating they’re crispy and toasted with a fragrant, nutty aroma.
  7. Once they reach your desired color and crunch, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the edamame cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes — they will crisp further as they cool.
  8. Transfer the crispy edamame to a bowl, and if desired, toss with a squeeze of lemon or a splash of soy sauce for extra flavor right before serving.
  9. Serve immediately for maximum crunch or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, reheating briefly in the oven if needed to revive crispiness.

Notes

Adjust spices to taste and experiment with additional seasonings like chili flakes, cumin, or garlic powder for variety. For an oil-free version, use a light spray of cooking oil instead of tossing with olive oil.
