Boiling Edamame
Boil frozen edamame pods in unsalted water. Cooking them for about 8 minutes ensures they become tender without losing their vibrant color and nutrients.
Draining and Drying

Tossing with Seasoning
Toss the hot edamame with the toasted Everything Bagel Seasoning immediately after spraying with olive oil. The heat helps the seasoning stick better, amplifying its flavor.
