This recipe creates a savory, crunchy snack that's perfect for any occasion. Roasted edamame beans coated with sesame oil, granulated garlic, salt, and toasted sesame seeds offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature is ideal for roasting edamame to crispy perfection.
Prepare Edamame: If using frozen edamame, ensure they are fully thawed. Pat the beans dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Season: In a mixing bowl, combine the edamame beans with sesame oil, granulated garlic, and salt. Stir well to ensure each bean is evenly coated.
Roast & bake: Spread the seasoned edamame beans in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps in even roasting and prevents sticking.Place in the preheated oven and roast for about 50 minutes. Halfway through, give them a gentle stir for even cooking.
Only if using raw Sesame SeedsWhile the edamame is roasting, toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Once they turn golden brown and aromatic, remove from heat.
Combine: Once the edamame is done (they should be slightly browned and crispy), take them out of the oven. Immediately sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over them while they are still hot.
Cool and Serve: Allow the roasted edamame to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature as a snack or a side dish.
