- Add spices to shelled edamame and mix well to coat.
- Spread the shelled edamame onto the oiled cookie sheet.

20 minutes or so.
- Remove and cool for 5 minutes before eating.
- Once cool, store leftovers in an airtight container.
Tips:
Buy frozen shelled edamame (mukimame) if you can find it. A 12 oz bag of shelled edamame works well.
If you want a salty taste but need to watch your sodium, try a reduced sodium or sodium-free salt substitute.
Sea salt has nearly the same amount of sodium as regular table salt. Log the amount of salt you use if you need to track sodium.
