Ingredients
- 2 cups shelled edamame (fresh or thawed if frozen) (about 280g)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (15ml)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- For the dipping sauce:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (120g)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (5ml)
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare and roast the edamame Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the shelled edamame with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt in a bowl until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the edamame is crisp and slightly browned. Remove and let cool slightly.
- Make the tangy dipping sauce While the edamame is roasting, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Serve the snack bowl Once the edamame has cooled for about 5 minutes (for best texture and safe handling), transfer to a serving bowl. Serve alongside the tangy yogurt dipping sauce for dipping. Enjoy immediately for optimal crunch.
Helpful Tips
- Use fresh or fully thawed shelled edamame for roasting to ensure even cooking.
- Monitor roasting closely after 15 minutes to avoid burning, as oven temperatures vary.
- Store any leftovers of roasted edamame in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day to maintain crispness; the dipping sauce can be refrigerated separately for up to 3 days.
- For a vegan option, substitute the Greek yogurt in the dipping sauce with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
