TIPS
- Dry Thoroughly: Make sure the edamame is completely dry before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Even Spacing: Spread the edamame out in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
- Customise Flavours: Add your favourite spices such as garlic powder, smoked paprika or chilli flakes for added variety.
- Watch Closely: Keep an eye on the edamame during the last few minutes of roasting to avoid burning.
VARIATIONS
- Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes before roasting.
- Herb Twist: Sprinkle with dried herbs like oregano or thyme for an aromatic touch.
- Sweet And Savoury: Drizzle with a bit of maple syrup before roasting for a sweet-salty combo.
- Cheesy Delight: Dust with nutritional yeast after roasting for a cheesy, dairy-free flavour.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store cooled edamame in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as it can affect the crisp texture.
- Best Practices: If they lose their crunch, re-crisp them in the oven for a few minutes.
