Ingredients

  • 1 cup of edamame
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Directions

  • If using edamame in the shell, boil a pot of water. Add the edamame and cook for 5-6 minutes until tender. If using shelled edamame, you can steam or microwave them for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  • Once cooked, drain the edamame (if in the shell) and season with your choice of garlic, salt, and pepper. For extra flavor, you can drizzle with a bit of olive oil or a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Serve immediately as a protein-packed snack or side dish.
