    Today we're getting ready for game day spreads with this roasted edamame appetizer that I plan to eat allllll month long!

    Roasted Edamame with Togarashi and Smoked Sea Salt is an easy appetizer with only 5 ingredients that comes together in under 15 minutes! It's gluten free, low calorie, and mind-blowingly delicious!

    Ah welcome February! The month of watching parties for the Super Bowl, the Grammy's, and the Academy Awards. Whether you plan to watch one or all three - or even if you care about neither but just want to hang out with family and friends - we all can look forward to the FOOD. I'm looking at you, roasted edamame with a punch of spicy togarashi, a sprinkle of smoked sea salt, and a pucker of freshly squeezed lime juice. You're the one-size-fits-all party food that will enthrall the foodies, delight the gluten-free folks, indulge the waist-line watchers, and make the vegans swoon. Yes indeed friends, there's something for everyone here and a whole lot to get excited about.

    What I LOVE about this recipe:

    • FLAVOR - Togarashi is a seven-spiced blend powerhouse that is common in the kitchen of Japanese households. It's essentially a chili pepper blend that contains citrus zest, nori, and various seed types. Buy it here (affiliate link), in the bulk section of your favorite specialty food store, or make your own. Smoked sea salt can be found in most well-stocked grocery stores - a little goes a long way!
    • FEAST for the eyes - if you're tired of the standard veggies and hummus party platter, add a pop of vibrant color to your meat and cheese-heavy party spread with this dish.
    • FULLNESS - ok, here's where the health nerd comes out in me. Whether you realize it or not, edamame is a great source of lean protein and is really high in fiber. It's also really low in calories, which makes it a great option for munching on throughout a party. Fill up on this, and then try a little bit of higher calorie foods.
    • FUN to make - I mean, what recipe that's only 5 ingredients and ready in 15 minutes isn't fun to make??? Minimal prep and clean up? Sign me up!

      This is probably a silly question: Do you eat the shell? I think not--right?

        You are right, Marilyn! You do not eat the shell - just pull the pods out with your teeth. Great question!

      This looks so yummy, my husband and I love edamame! I just have one questions, are they still easy to eat once they are roasted. Nice blog! 🙂

        Hi Leslie! Yes - they are super easy to eat once they are roasted - they slide right out of the pods. You can also enjoy the leftovers cold from the fridge the next day without reheating. Such a great snack to make a big batch of for the week!

      This looks amazing! I make edamame all the time, but I never really branch out beyond salting it. I'll have to try this!
