Ingredients
- 1 large head of garlic roasted
- 20 oz frozen whole edamame (2 ten ounce bags)
- 2 TBSP unsalted butter
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
- toasted sesame seeds for an optional topping to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F
- Grab an entire bulb of garlic and slice a little less than 1/4 of the top off, just enough to expose the cloves.
- Drizzle with olive oil and seal into a pinched pouch of aluminum foil.
- Roast anywhere from 40-60 minutes, depending on your oven and patience.
- Once the house starts to smell like heaven, resist the urge to dive straight in to the oven and spread the entire thing on toast. Better yet, roast a second bulb so you can do exactly that! The garlic can be roasted ahead of time and stored in the fridge if you'd like to have it on hand for easy additions to meals.
- Next bring a medium to large pot of water [approx 4-6 cups] to boil on the stove top.
- Boil the edamame until tender, but still firm, approx 3 minutes or so.
- Test a pod for desired tenderness and drain liquid from the pot.
- Grab a warm head of garlic and squeeze out the bulbs into a bowl. After roasting it basically turns into buttery, garlic paste and will leave your house smelling amazing all day long. The only thing better than the smell is the taste! I die.
- Whisk together melted butter, roasted garlic, garlic powder, and salt and pour over edamame.
- Toss to coat.
- Add your cayenne pepper and any additional sea salt to taste and dig in!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Feel free to speed things up by roasting your garlic ahead of time! You can even roast extra and have it on hand for #ALLTHETHINGS -- it's great in sauces, on pasta, in soups, spreads, and even on toast!
- Need to whip this up last minute? After blanching your edamame in boiling water until tender, heat a skillet with butter and add fresh minced garlic (a little... or a LOT!) and edamame. Sauté until fragrant and season to taste. (extra sea salt and cayenne for me - YUM!)
