Categories: Appetizers

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed and patted dry
  • 3 tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • 3/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 cup raw unsalted pecans
  • 1/2 cup raw unsalted almonds
  • 1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread edamame evenly across parchment. Bake until dried and crispy, 20-23 minutes. Set aside to cool.

  2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine maple syrup and cayenne. To a large skillet, add pecans, almonds and cashews. Drizzle syrup mixture over nuts and stir to coat. Place on medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, until syrup bubbles, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Add edamame and stir to coat.

  3. Pour edamame-nut mixture over parchment on same baking sheet and spread in a single layer. Return baking sheet to 400 oven and bake until nuts are browned, 5-8 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle immediately with salt. Cool completely on baking sheet. Store in an airtight container at room temp.
