Ingredients
- Edamame (shelled) 115 g
- Olive oil spray (light) 6 g
Method
-
Preheat the oven.
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the edamame. This temperature will help the edamame roast evenly and get a nice texture.
Tip: Make sure the oven is fully preheated before roasting for best results. -
Prepare the edamame.
Measure 115 grams of shelled edamame. Spread the edamame in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Tip: Use a flat baking sheet to ensure even roasting. -
Spray with olive oil.
Lightly spray the edamame with about 6 grams of light olive oil spray. This will add healthy fats and help the edamame crisp up without adding too much oil.
Tip: Hold the spray about 6-8 inches away from the edamame for an even coating. -
Roast the edamame.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the edamame for 12-15 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even roasting. The edamame should turn slightly golden and develop a roasted aroma.
Tip: Keep an eye on the edamame near the end to avoid burning. -
Cool and serve.
Remove the edamame from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature as a nutritious snack or side dish.
Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of salt or your favorite seasoning after roasting.
