The perfect quick snack, frozen edamame with sesame seeds, sriracha and sesame oil is so easy and delicious.

Healthy Edamame Snack

Edamame sprinkled with salt is one of my favourite snacks, I like to call it, the every creative that I am “edamame snack”. It’s packed with protein, is fun to eat and satisfies that salty craving, however, it can get a little boring. That’s where this edamame recipe comes in. With a nutty undertone from sesame oil, a satisfying crunch from the sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, a spicy kick from sriracha and salty flavour from soy sauce, this five ingredient quick edamame snack recipe will be your go-to after school snack. Who knew something so simple could satisfy so many cravings!

I love this edamame recipe because it take about 5 minutes to cook up which makes it the perfect study break. Then, I can munch on it while I finish up some readings, storyboarding or studying. Of which I did none this weekend. Sometimes you just need to take a weekend off, you know? Last week was wonderful, but my batteries needed recharging. I spent the weekend recipe testing and catching up on blogs. It was just what I needed and good for my soul. I’m a little over a week away from going into production on a school project which is a short film I wrote, am producing and directing. I’m totally freaking out, but trying to take things in little steps so I don’t get overwhelmed, it seems to be working for now. Anyways, it’s full speed ahead for the next week and a half, and I’ll be snacking on this quick five-ingredient edamame snack the whole time.

Food for thought
