Edamame is consumed as a snack, a vegetable dish, used in soups or processed into sweets and is naturally gluten free and perfect for those that follow a vegetarian or vegan diet as it's loaded with protein.

I don't remember the exact first time that I tried edamame, but it was within the last few years. It's on just about every menu nowadays as an appetizer or starter to your main meal; like this Soy-Ginger Roasted Edamame I saw on The Cheesecake Factory menu recently.

I didn't order it that way; though we did order the regular steamed version, but figured how hard could it be to improvise. So I set out to experiment once again with my own version and boy were these good!

What is Edamame?

Edamame is a green vegetable (a.k.a soybean) picked at the peak of ripening and means "Beans on Branches". It grows in clusters on bushy branches and to keep its freshness and natural flavor, edamame is parboiled; then quick-frozen.

In East Asia, the soybean has been used for over two thousand years as a major source of protein.

To eat as a snack, which is generally the way we eat them, the pods are lightly boiled in salted water, and then the seeds are squeezed directly from the pods into the mouth with the fingers.

I've seen them in the refrigerator section of my grocery store; however, the ones I generally purchase come in individually frozen packages. They steam up nicely in the microwave in about 1-2 minutes; then you just add your own salt. You can also purchase them without the pod, but for this recipe I recommend the whole pods.

How do I make Edamame?

For these Soy-Ginger Roasted Edamame, I used frozen edamame, tossed them with some soy sauce (I used gluten free), fresh grated ginger and a little sesame oil; then baked them for about 15 minutes.

You don't have to, but if you like your edamame a little saltier, then sprinkle with a little salt after they're done. These were delicious and we snacked on these for days. ~Enjoy!

    I love edamame! I often have it as a snack when I'm watching a movie. I usually just have it with a sprinkle of salt, though sometimes I make a spicy black bean dipping sauce. Your soy-gingered roasted edamame sounds great. I'll have to switch things up and try it the next time I make edamame.

      I usually just put salt on it as well, but these gave it a really nice added flavor. The black bean dipping sauce sounds like it would be great too! Thanks so much for stopping by Rosanna.
