Thai Spice Crispy Edamame

Thai Spice Crispy Edamame (from The Law Student’s Wife, Servings: 4, Total Time: 45 minutes)

Ingredients
·         12 ounce package frozen, shelled edamame
·         2 tsp. olive oil
·         1 tsp. sesame oil
·         1 ½ tsp. lime juice
·         1 ½ tsp. Thai red curry paste
·         ½ tsp. brown sugar
·         ¼ tsp. soy sauce
·         1/8 tsp. garlic powder
·         1/8 tsp. ground ginger

Directions

1.      Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the edamame into a colander and rinse under cold water to thaw. Drain and set aside.
2.      In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, sesame oil, lime juice, curry paste, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ginger until well blended. Add edamame and toss well to coat.
3.      Spread the edamame into the bottom of a 9x13 inch-baking dish. Bake 15 minutes, then remove from oven, stir to rotate the beans, and return to oven for an additional 10-15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.


I served this as an appetizer to the Sweet and Sour Smoked Tofu and Pineapple en Papillote dish.  My husband and I both enjoy edamame, so I figured instead of just serving the regular pop beans with salt, I would opt for some different spices to coat them.  We both liked the outcome.  There is a slight, building heat to the beans – from the red curry paste.  I liked that they stayed nice and crispy, even when coated with the different spices and oils.  This dish was easy to make and do plan on making it again.
