This Spicy Garlic Edamame is the perfect mix of heat, zest, and crunch. Quick to make and loaded with nutrients, it’s an easy crowd-pleaser whether you’re prepping for a party or just need a savory snack.

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound edamame in pods (fresh or frozen)
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
Salt to taste
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Instructions

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the edamame pods and cook for 4–5 minutes until tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, just until fragrant.
Add the cooked edamame to the skillet. Pour in sesame oil, soy sauce, and red chili flakes. Stir well and cook for another 2–3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Finish with a pinch of salt and a splash of lemon juice. Serve warm.

Notes

Use a garlic press for a finer mince. For more spice, toss in a bit of cayenne or your favorite hot sauce. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before enjoying.
