Crispy roasted edamame is a quick, high-protein snack with a crunchy exterior and creamy center, seasoned simply with olive oil and sea salt. It’s easy to make, naturally gluten-free, and perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or healthy snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (about 3 cups) frozen shelled edamame (or fresh, boiled and shelled)
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika or chili powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Rinse and drain the shelled edamame. If using frozen, thaw in a colander under cold water for 2-3 minutes and shake off excess water.
  3. Pat edamame dry thoroughly with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
  4. Transfer edamame to a mixing bowl. Toss with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and any optional spices.
  5. Spread edamame in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan or stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crisp at the edges.
  7. Cool on the tray for 5-10 minutes to allow maximum crispiness. Taste and sprinkle with extra sea salt if desired.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature. If storing, let cool fully before transferring to an airtight container.

Notes

For extra crunch, let edamame cool completely before snacking. You can customize seasonings with nutritional yeast, sesame seeds, or sriracha. If using fresh edamame, boil or steam first and reduce roasting time by a few minutes. For air fryer method, cook at 400°F for 15-18 minutes, shaking halfway. Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge (re-crisp in oven if needed).
