A bowl of crispy roasted edamame seasoned with garlic, shown on a rustic wooden surface, ideal for a plant-based, high-protein snack or trail mix ingredient.

Roasted edamame is a great source of fiber and plant based protein. A great snack alone or combine with some dried fruit, whole grain, cereal and nuts for a healthy snack mix. If you are trying to limit your sodium intake, you can use garlic powder instead of salt.

A protein-packed, plant-based snack that’s perfect on its own or tossed into your favorite trail mix.

Ingredients

Scale

2 1/2 cups frozen shelled edamame

34 spritzes of truffle or avocado oil spray

1/4 cup plant based Parmesan cheese (see below)

1/4 tsp garlic salt

pinch of pepper

Plant Based Parm Ingredients

1/2 cup nutritional yeast

1 tablespoon chopped walnuts

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Defrost frozen shelled edamame in a strainer under running cool water.
  2. Spread out on a couple sheets of paper towels. Pat dry.
  3. Spray edamame lightly (3-4 spritzes) of truffle oil.
  4. In a small bowl, combine plant based Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and pepper.
  5. Toss edamame with cheese mixture.
  6. Cover sheet pan with parchment.
  7. Spread edamame in single layer.
  8. Bake for in air fryer 15-20 minutes at 370F. I have an air fryer oven that has a rotating mesh basket that works great for these.
  9. Remove tray from oven and cool completely.
  10. Store in airtight container.
  11. To make the plant based parm, combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until ground well (3-4 pulses). Store in the refrigerator in a small mason jar or airtight container. Store for up to 4 weeks.  

Notes

  • No air fryer? Bake in a traditional oven at 300F for 30 minutes. Turn off oven. Stir on pan and let sit in hot oven for another 30 minutes to make crisp.
  • This recipe can be used to make roasted chickpeas, too.
