Garlic and Ginger Edamame

All I wanted was a healthy snack to replace my Britney-Spears-circa 2007-addiction to Cheetos. Luckily for me, I found that snack in these Garlic and Ginger Edamame beans.

They're absolutely perfect for a quick and light snack mid-day, are a perfect portion for 4 people, and great as leftovers the following day, just reheat them in a skillet! Unless, of course, you go through a pound of them while binge watching Hell on Wheels via Netflix.

What You Will Need for 4 Portions: 

- 1lb bag frozen in-shell edamame beans

- 1 T olive oil 

- 1 T butter

- 1 tsp grated or minced garlic

- 1 tsp grated or minced fresh ginger

- 2 T coarse sea salt or Pyramid Salt

What To Do:

- Boil/Microwave Edamame for 2 minutes or until fully defrosted. Drain and set aside.

- Grate/Mince the garlic and ginger. 

- Heat skillet on Medium High heat, add oil and butter, allow butter to melt. 

- Add the Edamame in and saute on high heat for 3-5 minutes. 

- Throw in the garlic and ginger, toss to cook through for about 1 minute and take off heat.

- Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool for a few minutes, add the crushed coarse salt and serve warm. 

- Don't forget the extra bowl for empty pods!
