Edamame are immature soy beans that are traditionally eaten in East Asian cultures. The term actually refers to a way of preparation where they are steamed in their pods, but is often used in today's western culinary world to describe the green soy beans alone. They can be prepared as vegetables and added to soups, salads, stir-frys, or simply as a snack. Green soy beans are rich in protein and contain high amounts of certain micronutrients - especially folate, vitamin K1 and manganese. They are perfectly tasty (and the healthiest to eat) just steamed for a couple of minutes. To be honest, that is my favourite way to eat them. Still, seasoning them and baking in the oven gives them a special kind of crunchy punch and makes them a perfect party snack that everyone will love, not just those few your friends that are health freaks like you (or is it just me?). Anyhow, if you want to impress the croud with something easy to make, supertasty and decadent that is also pretty healthy, here's an idea.

400 g frozen edamame
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 pinch himalayan salt
1 tbsp melted coconut oil
how/
