Roasted Edamame

Is it a snack? A side? An appetizer? I don't know, and I don't care. I just want to eat more of its spicy, savory, soft crunchiness.

Adapted/simplified from recipe on Allrecipes.com

Ingredients

1 cup shelled fresh edamame

1-2 teaspoons olive oil (too much will make for oily beans)

1/4 teaspoon: chili powder, dried basil, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

salt to taste (don't need much)

*note: cayenne could be left out and/or chili powder reduced for less heat

Directions

Preheat oven to 375. Mix beans, oil, and spices in bowl and transfer to small cookie sheet, baking dish, or (for faster cleanup!) square of aluminum foil. Bake in oven for at least twenty minutes. Serve immediately (cold soybeans = ew). Enjoy the soft crunchiness! The crunchy softness! These were made to be shared. Yum.
