Crispy Roasted Edamame

The single hardest (and most important) part of weight loss for me is the whole snack factor. Or lack thereof. I don’t really handle deprivation well (I’ve already told my husband that if we’re struck with a zombie apocalypse to please just put me down early) and I also get kind of mean and irrational when I’m hungry. I’m like the poster child for the word “hangry.” So if I’m following a diet plan that is highly restrictive or where I feel perpetually hungry, I’m basically mean to everyone for a few days and then I quit. I needs my snacks.

These roasted edamame are a perfect little snack, whether or not you’re trying to eat healthy. They’re packed with protein to keep you full and offer a highly satisfying salty crunch to keep you not crazy. Even my husband likes them and to him, the only acceptable vegetables are corn and nougat.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line with parchment paper. Place the frozen frozen edamame in a strainer

and rinse under warm water until the ice is melted and the beans are mostly thawed. Blot dry with paper towels

and then spread onto the baking sheet.

Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the oil,

salt,

pepper,

onion powder, and garlic powder. drizzle over edamame and then toss to combine. Bake for 22-25 minutes (stir halfway through) or until the beans are whistling and are lightly browned and crispy. Remove from oven.

If you want (and I encourage you to want…), sprinkle with Parmesan cheese,

and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
