Best 4 Crispy Edamame Recipes

CRISPY EDAMAME

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the edamame into a colander and rinse under cold water to thaw. Drain.
• Spread the edamame beans into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle cheese over the top and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is crispy and golden, about 15 minutes.

SOBA WITH GREEN GARLIC, SPINACH, EDAMAME AND CRISPY TOFU

Steps:

• Blot the tofu dry on paper towels. If the garlic has formed cloves, separate them and remove the thick shells from the tender cloves. If it has not formed cloves, just remove the outside layers and mince.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt to taste and add the edamame. Cook 4 minutes, then remove from the water with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat a wok or a wide skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates upon contact. Swirl in the rice bran, grapeseed or canola oil and add the tofu. Stir-fry until golden brown, and remove from the pan. Season to taste with soy sauce and set aside.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add the olive oil and the shiitakes. Cook until they begin to soften, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, and add the green garlic along with a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until it is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until it wilts. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir in the tofu and edamame. Turn the heat to low and keep warm while you cook the noodles.
• Bring the water to a boil in the large pot, and add the noodles gradually, so that the water remains at a boil. Stir once with a long-handled spoon or pasta fork so that the noodles don't stick together. Wait for the water to come back up to a rolling boil - it will bubble up, so don't fill the pot all the way - and add 1 cup of cold water. Allow the water to come back to a rolling boil and add another cup of cold water. Allow the water to come to a boil one more time and add a third cup of water. When the water comes to a boil again, the noodles should be cooked through. Allow them to boil for a few minutes if they are not. Drain in a colander. Place in a large bowl, top with the vegetables and tofu, and serve.

CRISPY BAKED PARMESAN GARLIC EDAMAME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Toss edamame and garlic olive oil in a bowl to coat completely.
• Mix Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, chile lime seasoning, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Add to the edamame mixture and toss until well combined. Spread edamame in 1 layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until Parmesan cheese begins to brown, turning once halfway through, 10 to 15 minutes.
