Cajun Edamame Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Step 1: Steam the Edamame

    In a steamer basket over boiling water, add the edamame pods and steam for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still firm.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Prepare the Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon juice, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), olive oil, and salt. Mix well to form the sauce.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Toss the Edamame

    Once the edamame is steamed, transfer it to the mixing bowl with the sauce. Toss well to coat the edamame in the garlic lemon pepper sauce.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Serve

    Serve immediately, warm, and enjoy your Cajun Edamame! You can adjust the spice level by adding more cayenne pepper if desired.
