A quick and easy roasted edamame snack with a spicy sriracha and bright lime flavor, perfect for gatherings or a flavorful side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 grams) frozen edamame pods (shelled or in-pod)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper (optional, a pinch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of sriracha, 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk or stir well until smooth.
  3. Add the frozen edamame pods directly into the bowl. Toss with tongs or hands until every pod is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the coated edamame in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes, flipping the pods at the 8-minute mark for even cooking, until slightly charred and crispy.
  6. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with more sea salt and a fresh squeeze of lime juice if desired. Toss gently to combine.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Do not thaw edamame completely before roasting to keep them crispy. Flip halfway through roasting for even caramelization. Add fresh lime juice after roasting to avoid bitterness. For milder heat, reduce sriracha or substitute with chili-garlic sauce. Can be roasted in an air fryer at 390°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
