Ingredients Needed

All you need to do is grab a bag of frozen edamame from the grocery store. You’ll have the rest of the ingredients to make this tasty snack in your pantry! I love how easy to make (and ultra flavorful!) this garlic edamame is. See the recipe card below for the exact measurements I use.

• Frozen Edamame: Edamame is a type of soybean that’s commonly served as a snack or appetizer. I love using frozen edamame because it’s so convenient. Frozen edamame is also pretty inexpensive, making this the perfect wallet-friendly snack.
• Water: Used to steam the beans.
• Olive Oil: The olive oil is used to coat the edamame and add a touch of flavor. It also helps the other ingredients stick to the beans.
• Garlic: Adds delicious savory flavor! I used fresh minced garlic here so it really packs in that delicious flavor.
• Soy Sauce: Adds a rich umami flavor to the edamame. I just used regular soy sauce, but you can also go for low-sodium soy sauce to make this snack a healthier option.
• Flaky Sea Salt: Flaky sea salt is a type of salt that has a coarse texture and briny flavor. It’s used to season the edamame and enhance its natural flavors!

How to Make Garlic Edamame

It’s super easy and takes less than 10 minutes! Garlic edamame is one of my new favorite snacks. I love that I can whip it up in a snap!

1. Steam Edamame: In a medium-sized skillet add the edamame and water. Cover with a lid and then steam on medium high for about 5 minutes. Then remove edamame and set aside on a plate.
2. Combine With Sauce: Add the olive oil and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes and then add the edamame back to the skillet. Then add the soy sauce. Stir so the edamame is coated in the sauce. Then sprinkle with sea salt and serve.

Ways to Use Edamame

Not only is this garlic edamame a great snack, but it works well in other recipes as well! It’s perfect for stir fries, salads, rice bowls, you name it! Not only does the edamame add flavor, but a boost of protein and fiber as well!
