1
Prepare the Edamame
If using frozen edamame, place them in a strainer and run under warm water for a few minutes until thawed. If using fresh edamame, rinse them under cold water.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves using a knife or a garlic press.
3
Juice the Lemon
Cut the lemon in half and juice it using a citrus juicer or by hand, ensuring to remove any seeds.

4
Cook the Edamame
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the edamame and cook for about 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
5
Sauté the Garlic
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
6
Combine Ingredients
Add the cooked edamame to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
7
Season the Edamame
Add lemon juice, sea salt, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Toss everything together until the edamame is evenly coated and heated through.

8
Serve Warm
Transfer the garlic edamame to a serving bowl and enjoy warm as a snack or appetizer.
