Crunchy roasted soybeans tossed with olive oil, spicy wasabi powder, salty Parmesan, and a touch of salt. These crispy Parmesan wasabi soybeans deliver bold flavor and satisfying crunch in a simple snack you’ll reach for again and again.
Parmesan Wasabi Roasted Soybeans
Roasted snacks can get expensive—like those store-bought wasabi edamame bags that I could easily finish in one sitting! 😅 That’s why I started making my own simple roasted soybeans using our garden-grown soybeans. These crunchy, crispy little bites are perfect for a snack at home or on the go.
The wasabi adds a little spicy kick, while the salty Parmesan keeps them balanced and irresistible. If you love this, you might also enjoy some of my other soybean recipes, like edamame pesto or just simple roasted soybeans for an everyday snack.
This roasted wasabi edamame recipe is super easy, full of flavor, and guaranteed to become a favorite snack!
What type of soybeans should I use?
You can use fresh or thawed soybeans for this recipe. If using frozen, make sure to defrost them first, then pat them dry with a towel to remove any excess moisture. The drier the soybeans, the crispier they’ll bake—so don’t skip this step!
How to Roast Soybeans
Line baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a bowl mix soybeans, salt, olive oil, wasabi powder and Parmesan cheese to coat the beans.
Note: You can easily double, triple, or more this recipe. Just change the servings in the recipe card and the amounts will automatically change!
Place soybeans on a baking sheet, spreading them out single layer.
Bake until crispy – and eat them all! 🙂
How to Store
Store your roasted soybeans in an airtight jar or resealable bag in a cool, dark, dry cabinet. They’ll stay fresh for a couple of weeks, but let’s be honest… they probably won’t last that long once you start snacking! For maximum crunch, you can even reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before serving.

Absolutely wonderful looking snack. Only if I could eat small portion of that, love it too much.
It is so nice to make your own snacks from scratch.

This is a perfect snack! I also love raspberries and only buy them when they are on sale 🙂

Here’s to hoping they’re on sale next time we’re both at the store! 🙂
Stacy | Wicked Good Kitchen says
Wicked snack, girl! I can just imagine how excited you get over making these after growing them in your very own garden! So rewarding to snack on and crunch and munch. Soy doesn’t like me, so I have to go with alternative snacks. They look fabulous! Thanks for sharing, Pamela!
Pamela says
Thanks Stacy! It’s great to be able to grow and snack!

My snacks are always so expensive as well! Why are granola bars and fresh fruit several dollars a serving?! *sigh* Love this salty alternative to potato chips. Beans are SO GOOD and one of my absolute favorites. These look like the perfect snack! Yum!

MUST MAKE THESE. I’m obsessed with dried edamame. There’s a trail mix from costco that has them in it and I always pick them out. Drives my Mom nuts (or beans haha!). Now I’ll just make these and she can leave me alone 😉
Pamela says
Or beans, hahaha, good one! 😉

Blueberries are yummy too, I’m craving blueberry pancakes now! 😉
Consuelo @ Honey & Figs says
I’m munching on a bowl of raspberries as I type and it’s amazing! I definitely have to tell my dad to grow them next year, the ones at the market are so pricey!
These soybeans look like a lovely snack too. I love how crispy they look!
Pamela says
I wish I could reach through your screen and grab a few berries. I would share some soybeans with you too!

I love raspberries too. These soybeans look amazing.

Aimee / Wallflower Girl says
I had a chocolate bar the other day that I think you would LOVE – salted edamame chocolate! http://shop.seattlechocolates.com/jcoco/jcoco-chocolate/jcoco-edamame-sea-salt.html I came across it at a chocolate festival I went to and have been craving more ever since (unfortunately it’s very expensive to buy over here :-() Anyway, you should check it out – it’s amazing!
Anyway, these sound so good. I love wasabi peas and can imagine it’s even more gorgeous with the parmesan 🙂
Aimee / Wallflower Girl says
Actually, now that I think of it… I should see if I can make my own version of that chocolate bar at home…
Pamela says
Salted edamame chocolate! Oh my goodness, I must try this Aimee! Thank you for this great link!
Nicole ~ Cooking for Keeps says
I”m always looking for homemade healthy snacks since I’m ALWAYS hungry. Love these!!
Pamela says
Enjoy Nicole, they’re a favorite!
Katie says
Oh my god, the wasabi and parmesan combo sounds delicious! I never would have thought to combine them, but WOW. I’m thinking this might have to be my next nut butter flavor. Maybe I need to make soy nut butter?
I have HUGE raspberry bushes in my yard!! Come visit and I’ll share. 😀
Pamela says
Oh my goodness, send me some of this butter please! And send me raspberries! Sorry, I’m being greedy but you’re making me that way. 🙂
Stephanie @ PlainChicken says
Looks delicious! I love that the beans came from your garden. Fresh and delicious – nothing better!
Pamela says
Thanks Stephanie, I love a good garden snack.
Monica says
The beans really are beautiful and all the more special coming from your own garden! That’s a wonderful snack.
Pamela says
Thanks Monica! Picking them from the garden definitely feels special. 🙂
Kelly @ hidden fruits and veggies says
I planted raspberry bushes two years ago, and stilllll waiting on raspberries. Maybe that’s why they’re so expensive? Occasionally, they go on sale around here for a $1/pint. I bought probably 12 of them in one trip, and I’m not one bit ashamed.
Pamela says
When they appear, I will be sneaking around your garden Kelly. Don’t be creeped out! 🙂
Beth says
What a nice snack alternative!
Like you, I can go through a pint of raspberries in no time at all.
Pamela says
I need to buy some more raspberries today!
Kelly says
I love snacking on wasabi peas and these ones looks so tasty and so much healthier than the ones you buy in the store. I love all these great recipes that incorporate the fresh produce you get from your garden 🙂
Pamela says
I love wasabi peas, they were the big inspiration for these soybeans. Thanks Kelly!
Dan S says
Wow! Looks so tasty! Must be great with Beer!!!
How do you take such nice photos?
Pamela says
Thanks Dan! 🙂
Gerry @ Foodness Gracious says
I’m a serious snacker and these would suit me just fine, a very large bowl of them!
Pamela says
I hear you Gerry, sometimes I need someone to take the bowl away from me. 🙂
