Ingredients

1 1/2 cups frozen shelled edamame thawed
2 tablespoons wasabi powder divided
1 tablespoon cornstarch or potato starch
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400℉ degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the edamame, 1 tablespoon wasabi powder, cornstarch or potato starch, vinegar, garlic, and salt (if using). Toss thoroughly to coat all the beans evenly with seasoning.
Spread the edamame out in an even, single layer, giving them as much space as possible.
Roast for 10 – 12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Toss with the remaining wasabi powder while still hot.
Let cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Alternately, dehydrate at 120℉ degrees for 4 – 8 hours for super crispy results that can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Serving suggestion: Spice up your salads and rice bowls by sprinkling a generous handful of wasabi edamame on top! They’re also a fantastic addition to trail mix, pasta salad, and even vegetable stir-fries.

Notes: Double-check your wasabi powder! Many options sold in the US are actually made from horseradish, which is fine, but it loses heat quickly, so you may want to increase the amount if you’re planning to keep the edamame longer than a day. Wasabi paste often has milk derivatives, so I’d recommend avoiding it entirely.
