Ingredients
  

2 cups edamame (fresh or frozen, in the pod)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Edamame: If using frozen edamame, cook according to package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside. If using fresh edamame, steam in a pot with a lid for about 5-7 minutes until bright green and tender.

    Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it will turn bitter.

      Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked edamame to the skillet. Season with sea salt and toss to coat the edamame evenly with the garlic and oil. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

        Add Cheese & Lemon: Remove the skillet from heat and immediately stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Mix well until all the edamame are coated with cheese.

          Garnish & Serve: Transfer the Parmesan garlic edamame to a serving dish, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and enjoy warm as a delicious appetizer or snack!
