Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups shelled edamame
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shelled edamame and sliced mushrooms. Drizzle olive oil evenly over the vegetables, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the vegetables. Toss thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly and ensure each piece is well-seasoned.
- Spread the seasoned edamame and mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting and crispy edges.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning and prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven when the edamame and mushrooms are golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges. The mushrooms should look caramelized and the edamame should have a slight crunch.
- Let the roasted vegetables cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a serving dish. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot as a side dish, appetizer, or healthy snack. Can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure your baking sheet is not overcrowded - this is crucial for achieving that perfect crispy roast.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Stir the vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- For extra flavor, experiment with additional seasonings like smoked paprika, dried herbs, or a splash of soy sauce.
- Let the vegetables cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to settle and develop.
- This dish is versatile - serve as a side, appetizer, or even as a protein-packed snack.
- For best results, use fresh edamame and firm mushrooms that can withstand high-heat roasting.
