This afternoon we did something I’ve been avoiding for much of the week… we used the oven {the perks of a much cooler day}. When I came across this recipe from allrecipes.com on Pinterest a little while back, I knew it would be right up my little edamame lover’s alley. We tweaked the original recipe just a tad, and it turned out great.
The best part is that it’s really simple. Here’s everything you need: edamame beans, olive oil, fresh-ground pepper, sea salt, and some cheese (we used asiago).
First things first, run your beans under some cool water for a few minutes to thaw them.
Next, have your sous chef place them all in a large mixing bowl.
Add a drizzle of olive oil…
Your cheese…
A generous grinding of pepper…
And just a tiny touch of sea salt.
Then mix everything together.
Lay your beans out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (who doesn’t love easy clean up?!) and pop them in the oven, flipping them once about half way through.
Take them out when they’re golden brown and have a good crunch to them.
Let cool for a few minutes and serve while still warm. Mmmmm!
Crispy Asiago Edamame Beans
- 1/2 a package of thawed, shelled edamame beans
- 1/4 cup of finely grated asiago
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of freshly-grated pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well. Lay beans on a parchment-lined baking pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes at 400 degrees, flipping once about halfway through. Let cool for a few minutes and serve warm.
Enjoy!
Mmmmm indeed!
