Today we bring you something green and healthy. This is the time of year when I have to try and resist all sorts of delicous looking Easter candies every time I'm at the grocery store. It's hard to pass up a cadbury egg! So while I'm tempted by every color of Peeps marshmallows I thought I'd try to focus my kitchen efforts on healthy snacks this week. Behold: parmesan and wasabi baked edamame.
These little guys are HIGHLY addictive. You have been warned. After snapping a few photos of these I stood staring out my kitchen window popping these in my mouth by the handful for probably about ten full minutes. Like a edamame eating zombie. (Which makes no sense because everyone knows zombies only eat brains. Duh.)
Parmesan & Wasabi Edamame
2 cups cooked edamame (if frozen thaw beforehand)
2 tablespoons oil (I used olive oil)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (from a shaker is best for this particular dish)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder
salt + pepper to taste
First coat the cooked edamame in the oil. In a separate bowl stir together the parmesan, flour, wasabi powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour mixture in with the edamame, tossing as you go. You want each piece to get coated in the flour mixture without any big clumps forming.
Lay the edamame out on a baking sheet lined with a silpat mat or parchment paper. Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes, tossing the edamame half way through baking so that they get cooked on both sides.
Serve warm. These are best the day they are made but you can try reheating them in the oven should you have leftovers. I think these make a fantastic snack but I could also see them being served as a fun side dish. Enjoy! xo. Emma
P.S. Looking for other healthy snack options? Check out: baked fruit (three ways!), dairy free ice cream, homemade apple chips, brussels sprout chips and whole wheat pretzel bites.

Yeah these look really great and I can’t wait to try them. I’m not much of a cook but they seem pretty easy enough (but I still have to clean the dishes afterwards 🙁 )
I think that has to be the coolest jar of wasabi I have ever seen!
I love, love love edamame any way. Yum!! This looks amazing.

What’s the texture like? Are they like wasabi peas? Can they be stored at room temp?
Those look unbelievable!! I’m not a wasabi fan but I wonder if they would work with just parmesan…

They look yummy! I have not eaten them this way before. Can’t wait to whip up some really soon.
This looks so yummy and simple enough. I’m a little bit of a baby with spicy stuff though so I may skip the wasabi. Thanks for this 🙂

Oh my goodness all the girls at work LOVE edamame beans! They are a great Friday afternoon snack

Brilliant! I’ve always wanted to try wasabi peas but I HATE peas so I’m glad you’ve thought of a better alternative.
This seem so delicious, I’m addicted to edemame!
OOo YUM I always buy the wasabi peas at the Asian grocery store! I think this seems “healthier” and definitely TASTIER!!

Sounds great! I love edamame with just salt, so I’m sure the addition of parmesan will be an interesting treat! (^_^)
I love edamame! Can’t wait to try this once I do some grocery shopping again 😀
I love wasabi!
Best. Thing. Ever. x
That looks soooo insanely yummy! But I don’t think I’ll be able to get my hands on some edamame here in Belgium. Have been looking for them everywhere but nowhere to be found.

ahhh… I googled it. Its a young soy bean. Never tried wasabi… maybe one day.
Parmesan, Wasabi & Edamame – OH MY! Three of my favourite things in one!? I am definitely trying this one!
These look like a great snack. I doubt there would be left overs.

Looks good. I wonder if I could make these in a non-dairy topping….
Oh, I have to try this. I love wasabi.
I love love love edamame! Great idea for a healthy snack but I might have to skip the wasabi or think of something to substitute for it. One of very few flavors I just cannot get on board with unfortunately.
This looks awesome!

I always see these in the tiny oriental section of the market by my house and bought them once but never again lol they’re so addictive yet spicy that it’s a love/hate relationship lol.
Oh yum! These look amazing!
