A High Protein Snack You’ll Actually Love

I share lots of higher protein snack recipes since I know it can be kind of a challenge to think of them when there’s a million other things to do, and these are a double whammy of goodness since they’re healthy AND take, like, 10 minutes to make, just like my super popular 10 Minute No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Bars, which are equally as easy but good if you have more of a sweet tooth!

Shelled Edamame for the Win!

I’ve tested this easy edamame snack with both shelled edamame and edamame in the pods, and I much prefer the shelled edamame version!

The best part about shelled edamame? It pretty much always comes frozen, meaning you can keep it fully stocked in your freezer when the craving for this air fryer edmame strikes!

Air Fryer or Oven, You Choose!

I tested this recipe a few times to make sure I get the timing juuuuuust right while using both the air fryer AND the oven!

Too little cooking time meant they weren’t crispy enough, and too much cooking time meant they were way too dry. Luckily for you, I landed on the perfect amount!

You’ll have some edamame leftover after making this air fryer edamame snack, so I highly suggest using it in my 15-Minute Quinoa Edamame Salad with Citrus Dressing for an easy, healthy main dish!

10-Minute Roasted Edamame Snacks (with Frozen Edamame)

These easy homemade roasted edamame snacks take just 10 minutes to make in the air fryer or oven using frozen shelled edamame! It's perfectly garlicky, salty and packed with a whopping 9 grams of protein per serving. Enjoy it on its own as a snack or sprinkled on salads, soups or wraps for a delicious crunch!

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups frozen shelled edamame
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Air fryer

Instructions
 

To Cook in the Air Fryer

  • Heat the air fryer to 400 ℉. Add the frozen shelled edamame to an air fryer basket and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the garlic powder and salt over the edamame. Shake the air fryer basket to evenly distribute.
  • Make sure that the edamame beans are evenly distributed in the air fryer basket for even cooking!
  • Air fry for 8-12 minutes, or until the edamame are crispy and lightly golden brown.

To Cook in the Oven

  • Preheat the oven to 450℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the frozen, shelled edamame, olive oil, garlic powder and salt. Toss until the edamame beans are well coated.
  • Lay edamame beans evenly on the parchment paper and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edamame beans are crispy and lightly golden brown.

Notes

Storing leftovers: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. 
Reheating leftovers: The edamame won’t be as crispy if you choose to reheat in the microwave, but if you want it to keep its crispiness, you can toss it in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 400F or the oven at 450F for 5 minutes!
