Edamame beans steamed in their pods are coated in a Japanese 7-spice blend make a quick and easy high-protein appetizer or snack.
Bring a medium-large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add frozen in-shell edamame beans. Once the water comes back to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cover and cook for 3 - 4 minutes.
Immediately drain edamame beans and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Pat the beans dry with a kitchen towel or paper towels.
Transfer the beans to a medium-large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sesame oil, kosher salt and Japanese 7-spice blend (shichimi togarashi). Toss to coat evenly.
