TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare this garlic roasted crispy edamame.

• Pat Dry For Crispiness: Removing moisture ensures a crunchy texture.

• Use Parchment Paper: This prevents sticking and helps even roasting.

• Shake The Tray Halfway Through: Ensures even cooking and prevents burning.

• Try An Air Fryer: Cook at 180°C (360°F) for 10-12 minutes for an even crispier result.

• Store Leftovers Properly: Keep them in an airtight container to maintain crunch.

VARIATIONS

• Spicy Edamame: Add ¼ tsp chilli powder or cayenne for heat.

• Cheesy Flavour: Sprinkle nutritional yeast after roasting for a savoury, cheesy taste.

• Asian-Inspired: Toss with sesame oil and a dash of soy sauce for extra umami.

• Lemon Zest Twist: Add fresh lemon zest before serving for a bright flavour.

• Smoky Paprika: Use smoked paprika instead of garlic powder for a deeper taste.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Short-Term Storage: Store roasted edamame in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

• Refrigeration: For longer storage, keep in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat in the oven for 5 minutes at 180°C (360°F).

• Freezing Option: Not recommended, as the edamame will lose its crispiness when thawed.
