Roasted Edamame Parmesan Side
Frozen shelled edamame roasted at high heat until crispy, then tossed with grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and lemon zest for a protein-packed, crowd-pleasing side that doubles as a snack.
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.
