Should we move this thread to recipes and cooking?  And sounds yummy.  Let us know how the roasted edamame turns out.

I was babysitting the two littlest grandkids on the weekend.  For dinner I did some green beans. DGS was opening them to eat the tiny beans inside.  I suspect his parents have probably taught him to open edamame.

Anyway, that reminded me that I have two boxes in my freezer. Tonight I am going to roast some without pods. The recipe I found said to partially thaw them...so that's what I'm doing right now.

If you are going for crunchy peanut like snack, you can roast chick peas.

I sent The Good Bean an email that said they should make their bars on dedicated equipment.  Here's the response...


Hi

Thanks for reaching out. Glad to hear you like our Fruit & No-Nut Bars! I totally understand your wish that we made them in a dedicated nut-free facility. We wish that too! We want everyone to be able to enjoy our snacks, and we understand that until they're made in a dedicated nut-free facility, some people won't be able to safely enjoy the bars.

We actually switched our Roasted Chickpea Snacks manufacturing to a dedicated nut-free facility, so those are nut free AND made in a nut-free facility. The positive response we got was so great, so I know the community is a very loyal and supportive group, like you said :) We also make our Bean Chips with Sweet Potato + Quinoa in a dedicated nut free facility. I'd be happy to send you samples of our chickpea snacks and chips if you'd like! I can also include extras for the whole family to try. If you'd like some, just let me know where to send them!

I hope that at some point in the near future we will also be able to make our Fruit & No-Nut Bars in a dedicated nut-free facility, so everyone can enjoy those too!

I've done roasted chick peas in the slow cooker a couple of times.  They were good, but it is not a walk away recipe - you have to prop the top open so that the moisture can escape and stir every hour or so.

In IL, I used to buy them at World Market.  Now I just order them if I can find a decent price for the box of 10 or 12.  I can't remember how many come in a box.

 :thumbsup:  Oh, right, McC.  I know Hezz and I have some of the same grocery chains, so was thinking of that.

I have made these.  Once I even tried to "grind" them in my food processor to make a spread.  I don't recommend doing that. 

Mine never use to crisp up enough until I came across these suggestions - you really have to get all the water off!  I do no worry about skins.

Thought I'd let you know. I found them frozen and picked up a back.  Today I finally got around to cooking them up. I boiled and added salt.

They are really good, but not what I was originally going for. I had hoped for crunchy. Maybe next time I'll try cooking a different way.

But they definitely are good. :)

This, if you can find them (or make them) may be more along the lines of what you're looking for.  These roasted chick peas are made on dedicated PF equipment.  Some of this company's other products are not (including the No-Nut Bar {grrrrr})





I wish they would do the bars on dedicated equipment.  DD and I eat them on occasion.

My grandmother used to boil a pound of these for a snack.

There are many different ways of preparing edamame: hummus, seasoned, and as part of a rice dish just to name a few.  :yes:
