This vibrant edamame stir-fry features tender green soybeans, shredded carrots, and is lightly seasoned with garlic and soy sauce. Traditionally part of East Asian cuisine, soybeans are versatile enough to add to any dish, hot or cold. It’s packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and iron for lasting energy, creating a delicious, heart-healthy, nutrient-dense dish.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 12-ounce bag frozen shelled edamame
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 10-ounce bag shredded carrots
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Start by rinsing and draining the frozen edamame, shaking off excess water, and setting it aside. Next, peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves. In a medium pan over medium heat, add the olive oil, edamame, carrots, and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add in the soy sauce, salt, and pepper, and cook for 1 more minute. Finally, turn off the heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and enjoy.

Recipe Modification

Swap out olive oil for sesame oil to add a bold, rich, nutty flavor.
