Good morning! I am off to a track meet this afternoon, so I wanted to share this recipe with you all before leaving for work. Hopefully today’s race won’t be as cold and windy as Saturday’s meet.
Roasted Edamame and Chickpeas
As I was going through my Pinterest recipe board, I noticed I had pinned this recipe for roasted edamame and this recipe for roasted chickpeas. So I figured, why not combine them?
These little roasted beans are excellent to top on a salad for some crunch, or by the handful when you’re grazing the kitchen. They are also a great replacement for popcorn with a tiny bit of melted coconut oil and a dash of parmesan.
They start to lose their crunch over time, but last pretty well in the panty for about 2-3 weeks. In my opinion, they taste best straight out of the oven and warm. Happy roasting!
Ingredients:
- one bag of frozen Edamame (You can use shelled or not, just pop the beans out of the shells after they have been cooked.)
- one can low sodium Chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and dried
- 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
- 3-4 teaspoons Lemon Juice
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
- Cook edamame according to package directions.
- In a large bowl, combine chickpeas and edamame.
- Toss with oil and lemon juice.
- Bake at 375 degrees F on a foil-lined baking sheet for 45-60 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy. Occasionally mix beans while they are cooking.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper while still hot.
- Make sure beans cool completely before storing them.
RQ: What is your favorite ingredient to top a salad with? Are you a bean fan? (I am in small quantities, or in hummus.)

I love putting peas on my salad!!!
Does the Gunshow like peas? Rob doesn’t and it makes me sad because they are so tasty!
I have a couple of packages of edamame in the freezer that desperately need used. Now I know what to do with them!
You should also try them shelled with a sliced juicy pear and some salt and pepper. Sounds weird, but it’s a great snack!
