Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Edamame (in pods or shelled, frozen)
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
If using frozen edamame, thaw them by rinsing under cold water in a colander and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Place the edamame in a mixing bowl, then add the minced garlic, Kalamata olives, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until well-coated.
Spread the edamame mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the edamame is slightly browned and tender, and the garlic is fragrant.
Remove the roasted edamame and olives from the oven and let cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice for a bright, zesty flavor. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Enjoy!
