Oven-crisp vegan edamame tossed in a glossy miso-sesame glaze makes a quick, affordable snack that is full of umami. Ready in about 30 minutes, these bites are perfect for sharing.
Ingredients
400g Frozen shelled edamame, thawed (Defrost completely and pat dry)
40g White miso paste
15ml Light soy sauce
10ml Sesame oil
15ml Maple syrup (substitute agave for a different sweetness)
15ml Rice vinegar
1 tsp Garlic powder
20g Cornflour
30ml Aquafaba (chickpea liquid) (acts as a vegan binder)
15g Sesame seeds
10ml Olive oil (for tossing before roasting)
to taste Salt (optional, the miso and soy are salty)
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200ºC (fan 180ºC). Line a baking tray with baking paper and lightly grease or spray.
Step 2
If your edamame is still cold, thaw fully and pat well with kitchen paper to remove moisture. Place in a mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl whisk together the miso, soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, rice vinegar and garlic powder until smooth. Set aside 1 tbsp of the glaze for serving.
Step 4
Add the aquafaba to the edamame, then sprinkle over the cornflour and 2 tbsp of the sesame seeds. Toss well until the edamame are evenly coated and slightly sticky; this helps them form small clusters.
Step 5
Use a tablespoon to scoop small heaps (about 1 tbsp each) of the coated edamame onto the prepared tray, leaving a little space between each. Lightly brush or drizzle the olive oil over the clusters.
Step 6
Bake for 14–18 minutes until edges are golden and firm, turning the tray once halfway to crisp evenly. Keep an eye in the final minutes so the clusters do not burn.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and immediately brush each cluster with the reserved miso glaze. Sprinkle over the remaining sesame seeds and a light pinch of salt if desired.
Step 8
Serve warm as a snack or appetiser with extra glaze on the side.

Recipe Notes
For extra crispness, leave the clusters a little longer in the oven and ensure edamame are thoroughly dried. Use tamari and gluten-free miso to adapt for a gluten-free version.
