Easy roasted edamame (mukimame)

Make an easy side dish, appetizer, or snack using frozen shelled soy beans right from the freezer. You don't even need to thaw them first - just take them from the freezer right to the oven!

I like to make a bowl of these when we have Asian inspired meals and put the bowl in the middle of the table for everyone to munch on and share while we eat. The kids love these kind of family style dishes where they can help themselves and soybeans are a favorite in our house.

Shelled soy beans are also referred to as mukimame (while edamame is generally used while still in their pods). I'm using edamame here as it is a more familiar term for many people. Either way, they are a simple and tasty snack! 

We frequently have bowls of steamed edamame in the pods as my kids love those. This version adds a nice twist of texture and flavor to soy beans.

Roasting the soybeans allows the outside gets golden and toasty flavored, while the inside stays creamy. I like mine topped with a fair amount of sea salt, but you can do this part to taste. 

 

You can also top them with some toasted sesame seeds for a bit of added flavor and crunch, and to compliment to toasted sesame oil.

 

The best part of this recipe is that you roast them straight from the freezer. There's no need to thaw them first. They go right onto the baking sheet without any need to thaw them beforehand. This makes for an easy side dish or appetizer that gets to the table quickly.  

I love incorporating beans into our meals for an inexpensive protein option. These roasted soy beans are something that the whole family enjoys.
