Ingredients:
Here's an overview of what you'll need to make this Dry Roasted Edamame, but keep scrolling for the full recipe amounts.
- Edamame: This dried Edamame recipe simply uses frozen edamame. You can usually find already-shelled edamame in the freezer section of your grocery store. To get the right ratio of olive oil and spices, use a 12-ounce bag. But if you can't find that you can tweak the olive oil and garlic salt. You don't need to do any prep work on the edamame. There's no need to thaw them or even pre-cook them in the microwave. Read below for all the health benefits and information about edamame, if you aren't familiar with it.
- Garlic Salt: Garlic salt gives these little crispy bites so much flavor with no fuss! If you are sensitive to salt, you can use garlic powder and just add a little sea salt.
- Parmesan Cheese: Use the classic refrigerated grated parmesan cheese.
- Olive Oil: Just a touch of olive oil gives this edamame enough flavor and oil to become crispy.
All About Edamame
What is edamame?
Edamame beans are whole, immature soybeans, which are part of the legume family. They are lighter green than regular soybeans, which are often light brown, tan, or beige. Soybeans are versatile food that is also made into soy protein, tofu, tempeh, soybean oil, soy sauce, and miso.
Edamame beans are often sold in pods, but you can often also find bags of just the green beans, which is what you need for this recipe.
Is edamame better raw or cooked?
All soybeans must be cooked before you eat them. Frozen edamame is often cooked by simply steaming them, but you can also roast them in the oven, like the recipe.
Is edamame good for you?
Soybeans are good for you! Despite any rumors about soy being unhealthy, it's not! It's a naturally cholesterol-free food that has no saturated fat. It is filled with protein, fiber, and micronutrients like vitamin B, calcium, folate, potassium, Vitamin K1, magnesium, phosphorous, and iron. They even have plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce heart risk. They are a wonderful addition to a healthy diet and this is a simply irresistible way to eat them.
Instructions:
This is an overview of the instructions to make this Dry Roasted Edamame, but the full detailed printable recipe is below in the recipe card.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, add the frozen edamame, olive oil, garlic salt, and parmesan cheese. Toss until well combined.
- Pour the coated edamame into your sprayed pan. Distribute the beans evenly.
- Roast in the oven for 18-20 minutes until browned and crispy. Give the pan a toss once during cooking. They should be nice and golden when done.
Variations
I love this Dry Roasted Edamame as written, but here are some fun variations.
- Make it with Chickpeas: You can make this same recipe with chickpeas instead edamame.
- Make it Vegan: To make these vegan, leave out the parmesan cheese or swap it for nutritional yeast.
- Make it in the Air Fryer: To make the dry roasted edamame in the air fryer, pat the edamame dry. Toss it in olive oil, garlic salt, and parmesan cheese. Air fry at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes or until tender and crispy.

FAQ

These are the crispiest and best right out of the oven! However, after you let the leftovers cool completely you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezing
I would not recommend freezing dry roasted edamame.
How long do dry roasted edamame last?
Because of the cheese, I don't recommend keeping this for more than 5 days.
