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. 1

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

  2. 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. 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. 4

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

  5. 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. 6

    Serve warm or at room temperature.
