    Spice up your edamame game with just a few ingredients in this easy Spicy Edamame recipe! We've taken the easiest snack on the planet to a new level --> edamame with a kick!

    A bowl of spicy edamame pods topped with sesame seeds and sriracha seasoning on the side.

    These Spicy Edamame pods are so addictive (like they weren't addictive already?)! I'm actually sitting here eating a bowl full. I'm not one to turn down spice so these really hit the spot! They couldn't be easier to make and require just a few ingredients.

    A 16-ounce bag of Trader Joe's frozen edamame on a white plank board.

    You can pick up a bag of frozen edamame just about anywhere these days. I get mine at Trader Joe's (my go-to store), but I've seen them in every grocery store. This recipe works well with the edamame still in the shell. Edamame pods are gluten-free, super healthy, and loaded with nutrients.

    Spicy Edamame is the easiest snack on the planet. Just boil the edamame pods for about 5 minutes. That's it!

    Edamame pods in a strainer on top of a pot of water placed on a white wooden plank board with a kitchen towel on the side.

    Drain the edamame before you toss in all of the other ingredients. Such an easy snack and so healthy too! Oh, and I used my awesome Anolon 4.5-quart saucepot to boil the water and cook the edamame to perfection!

    The sriracha seasoning adheres to the pods because the pods are tossed in sesame oil. You can eat the whole bag and really not feel guilty. So grab a bag of edamame, boil some water, go to town and add whatever spices float your boat!

    Isn't this the most beautiful Spicy Edamame you've ever seen? I could eat an entire batch of edamame with this recipe!

      I made these tonight with an Asian salad and chicken and it was such a tasty side dish. My hubby who doesn't normally like edamame loved this recipe. Thanks so much!
