Ingredients

3 cups frozen shelled edamame, thawed, patted dry
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 lemon, zested
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2

Pat 3 cups thawed, patted dry frozen shelled edamame very dry with paper towels - moisture is the enemy of crispiness. Spread on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
3

Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Toss to coat, then spread back into a single layer.
4

Roast 18 to 22 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the edamame are golden and slightly crispy on the outside.
5

Remove from the oven and immediately toss with 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, 1 zested lemon zest, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. The residual heat will melt the cheese onto the edamame.
6

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Questions

Can I make Roasted Edamame Parmesan Side dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor). The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Roasted Edamame Parmesan Side keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat uncovered in a 400 F oven (or an air fryer) for a few minutes to bring the crust back; the microwave softens it.

Can I halve or double Roasted Edamame Parmesan Side?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
