Ingredients You’ll Need
Before we get cooking, let’s break down what you need for this recipe:

How to Make Ginger Sesame Roasted Edamame
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). We want it nice and hot to get that perfect roast.
In a large bowl, combine the edamame, sesame oil, soy sauce, grated ginger, and a couple pinches of salt.
Toss to coat the edamame evenly, ensuring every pod gets that delicious flavor. I love the smell at this stage; it’s so fresh!
Spread the edamame on a baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they’re not crowded; we need them to roast perfectly!
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top, making it look all fancy and stuff.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through. You want them slightly crispy and tender, keep an eye out for that lovely golden color!
Once roasted, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. I know it’s tempting, but just let them rest for a sec!
Finally, garnish with chopped green onions before serving. You’ll be amazed at how delicious these look and smell!

Serving and Storage Tips
This ginger sesame roasted edamame is best served warm or at room temperature. It retains its flavor beautifully even as it cools down, making it perfect for meal prep or snacks throughout the week.
Storage: In the fridge, they can keep for about 3-4 days in an airtight container, but let’s be real they probably won’t last that long! If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing the roasted edamame in a single layer. Once frozen, transfer to a zip-top freezer bag, and they can last for up to 3 months.
Reheating: To reheat, simply toss them back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. You can also pop them in the microwave, but just like most things, they won’t be as crispy that way.
