Ingredients
Scale
1 pound frozen edamame, shelled
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions
Cook the edamame according to package directions. Drain well and pat dry.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the cooked edamame to the skillet.
Toss to coat the edamame with the garlic and chili oil.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edamame is heated through and slightly toasted.
If desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the edamame before serving.
Notes
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
For a deeper flavor, you can roast the garlic before mincing it.
Ensure the edamame is patted dry after cooking to achieve a crispier texture.
