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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Spread the edamame mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the roasted edamame and olives from the oven and let cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice for a bright, zesty flavor. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Step 8
Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Enjoy!
