Why We Love This Edamame Recipe
I’m not proud to admit that I truly knew very little about soybeans, what products are derived from soy, and the health benefits before I took a trip to visit a soybean farm in Maryland. My mind was blown, and I’ll never look at a little soybean plant the same way again. Soy is such an under-appreciated source of vitamins and minerals and has zero cholesterol. It’s truly heart-healthy and is so much more than just soy sauce. Game day Sundays are well and truly here, and as much as it’s a great excuse to splurge on the food, I do like to serve up a healthy snack too! This edamame recipe is so quick and easy to make and it’s so yummy too!
Variations on Edamame Beans
The great thing about these soybeans is their versatility. You can season them with just about anything, and I guarantee they will taste great! Try Creole seasoning, Italian seasoning, ranch seasoning, or herbs de Provence for a different flavor. You could even toss them simply with some soy sauce and sesame oil.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover edamame in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy cold or reheated in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
How to Freeze
Freeze edamame in an airtight container or Ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Serving Suggestions
Edamame makes a great snack or starter. They’re great to dip in Korean BBQ sauce, yum yum sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or bang bang sauce. Serve them up fresh along with Miso salmon, honey chicken, ramen, or these P.F. Chang’s lettuce wraps!
