Savory Spiced Edamame Bites - Vegan recipe hero image

I remember the first time I made these edamame bites for a friend’s potluck.

They were such a hit that I ended up making a double batch!

I love how they’re not only high in protein but also bursting with flavor from the spices.

Plus, they’re super quick to make, which is always a win in my kitchen.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using nutritional yeast here for its cheesy flavor. If you can't find it, you can skip it, but it really adds something special. The breadcrumbs help bind everything together; feel free to use gluten-free options if needed.

Tips & Notes

  • I like to keep a batch in the fridge for quick snacks during the week. They reheat beautifully in the oven!
  • If you want a little extra flavor, try adding some chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to the mix.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I add a tablespoon of sesame seeds for a nutty crunch.
  • You could also mix in some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of flavor.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat them in the oven to regain that crispy texture!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh edamame instead of frozen?

Absolutely! Just make sure to shell them and they’ll work perfectly.

How spicy are these bites?

The cayenne adds a gentle kick, but you can adjust it to your taste. Feel free to omit it if you prefer something milder.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will give your bites a nice crispy exterior.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gel-like.

  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shelled edamame, breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and the flax mixture.

  4. 4

    Mix everything together until well combined. You can use a fork or your hands for this — it’s kind of fun!

  5. 5

    Form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a tablespoon. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the olive oil over the bites and gently roll them to coat.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!

  8. 8

    Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re delightful on their own or with a dipping sauce like tahini or a spicy salsa.
