EASY to make dried edamame recipe using soybeans! This healthy edamame is slow roasted and salted! If you’re growing soybeans this year you need to make this snack!
I love soybeans so I love dried edamame!
I think I start every post with “I love (insert something”).
I love cheese. I love cats. I love donuts. I love snowmen. I love pumpkins. I love you.
But soybeans, yeah, I love them guys. We had a great soybean year and it’s still going on with more plants to pick. The last few days have been chilly and windy but the garden calls, so I throw on a hat and a dramatic attitude (“I’m so cold! I’m not going to survive!”) and get picking soybeans.
Look at this beautiful soybean plant!
So with so many soybeans – what’s a girl to do? Snack on them of course! I know, dried snacks aren’t usually the first thing you think of when you think soybeans. You might think of fresh edamame which is absolutely delicious, but I wanted something to crunch, something with a little salt on it. So say hello to my dried edamame recipe!
Dried Edamame is a healthy snack!
I’m not a big potato chip fan (*gasp*) so Salted Dried Soybeans take the place of a movie snack, a afternoon snack, a throw in my bag and eat while waiting for the subway snack. I just can’t get enough of them!
If you like this dried edamame recipe, I would definitely recommend making in big batches if possible. This will save you time in drying, plus it will leave you with more soybeans to eat!
This is our soybeans right out of the freezer. Soybeans don’t take long to thaw, just a few minutes. Try to break up any large clumps with your hands.
Coat with olive oil, sugar, salt and mustard powder. Into the oven they go..
Hours later you have delicious dried edamame!
Store in a jar, for this I love saving almond or peanut jars and reusing them. Good luck not eating them all at once!

I love that link!! Priceless. Also, if the lady from Algeria is seriously a grandma, I think we need to know her secret. She don’t look like any grandma I know! haha.
These little soybeans look so tasty! I use to buy dried salted soybeans and I loved snacking on them. I hope one day I get to make my own with soybeans out of my garden!
Pamela says
I know, isn’t she amazing?
Kelly says
What a great snack! We love edamame especially my lil guy. Wow, would love to have a taste of just one of your fresh soybeans – have only ever had the frozen kind so I’ll be these taste out of this world 🙂 Thanks for sharing another great recipe Pamela, pinning!
Pamela says
If you were closer Kelly I would be bringing you baskets of soybeans! 🙂
marcie says

Jennifer @ Not Your Momma's Cookie says
Fabulous snack idea!
Aimee / Wallflower Girl says
I love those portraits! And this sounds like a great snack, yum!
The Squishy Monster says
um, YUM! now this is a snack I won’t feel guilty about eating 10 lbs of (I exaggerate, but only sort of) =)
Pamela says
I totally hear you.. I can eat quite alot of these in a day.. 🙂
Nicole @ Young, Broke and Hungry says
It never crossed my mind you can make dried edamame beans yourself. They are my favorite snack!
Beth says
What a delicious way to serve edamame!
rika@veganmiam says
I love savory soybeans, they are a popular Asian snack. Have you tried wasabi powder? The jar was cute.
Pamela says
Rika, actually funny…. Wasabi Soybeans are next on my list. I can’t get enough!
M @ Onthesamepage says
thanks for the grandma link share – love seeing food perspectives from around the world! even if some are a little more appetizing than others! no idea people ate iguanas!…Never thought of baking soybeans! i’v got to try that. Ohh and your can looks lovingly handmade 😉
Pamela says
The iguanas pretty much shocked me too!
Monica says
I’ve never had soybeans dry roasted like this, and it looks like my kind of snack (and I can never have too many snacks around the house). This also reminds me of how my grandfather used to “cure” or do some kind of magic to his black beans and then eat them with his rice porridge (congee). Totally random but made me think of that…maybe it’s the slideshow of the grandmas. I saw a few of the pics on The Chew yesterday…so neat!
Pamela says
Glad you liked the link Monica, and those black beans sound magical!
Andi @ The Weary Chef says
We love dry roasted edamame in our family! We used to get large jars of it at Costco, but they stopped carrying it a few years ago. It’s super expensive in small packages I’ve seen elsewhere, and I didn’t know I could make it myself so easily! This is another awesome tip to remember with your roasted corn snack. Thanks so much, Pamela!
Pamela says
Isn’t edamame so expensive Andi? Everytime I see it in the frozen section I’m always in shock by the price.
Mary Frances @ The Sweet {Tooth} Life says
That spice combo sounds amazing! Mustard powder + sugar, now I can go for that. I haven’t tried soybeans, and I’m not sure why (since they’re all delicious and healthy and the trendy snack food … nothing big:) These would satisfy my salty cravings in a heartbeat!
Pamela says
They definitely make me snack happy mary Frances!
yummychunklet says
Tasty looking snack!
Jaclyn says
I love edamame, I could snack on these all day!
Laura @ Lauras Baking Talent says
Love the idea of dried soy beans! You keep me so healthy 🙂
Pamela says
For every 5 cheesy casseroles, I try to get a vegetable snack in there. 😉
Pam says
My kids love edamame… what a great snack idea.
I checked out the website – how wonderful it is!!!
Pamela says
Isn’t the link just beautiful Pam?
Shundara@SavyNaturalista says
Beautiful recipe and I love the fact that you use fresh soybeans! It’s neat to see the difference between the ones in the store and the one from a garden; much brighter and not as large.
Consuelo @ Honey & Figs says
These look like an addictive snack indeed! I’ve never tried soybeans, but I think I’d love them 🙂
Nora @ Buttercream Fanatic says
Dried soybeans are one of my favorite snacks! I never thought to make them myself!
PS: The grandmothers link = priceless 🙂
Pamela says
Glad you liked the link Nora!
Jamie | Jamie's Recipes says
My grandma always offers little snackies at family gatherings. She usually has dried salt peas or dried wasabi peas. It would be so fun to make these for her. Yum!
Pamela says
I’m all about the wasabi peas Jamie, they are my current obsession!
Dan from Platter Talk says
What a great post!! I had to share the “Grandma’s Dish” site – too beautiful. Soybeans? I’ve never had them this way – I know others who rave about edamame and clearly that is one train I need to hop on! Thanks for doing this one, Pamela!
Pamela says
Glad you enjoyed the link Dan! It made my day after looking at it.
Amy @ Elephant Eats says
These look so good! I love salty, crunchy snacks…which is why I just picked up some of that giant corn to make those Roasted Corn Kernel Nuts you posted a while ago. I can’t wait! 🙂
Pamela says
Enjoy Amy – lots of happy snacking to you! 🙂
Chocolate Shavings says
Sounds like a great snack!
Davida @ The Healthy Maven says
I know I say this all the time but I LOVE this recipe! I’m addicted to the energy blend trail mix from costco which is filled with dried soybeans. Now I can make it at home!
Pamela says
Enjoy Davida!
Emma @ Fork and Good says
This actually looks really intriguing kinda like roasted chickpeas. Fantastic, the tin is amazing! I start most of my sentences with ‘I love’ too. At least it’s positive!
Pamela says
High 5 for positive loves!
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
Love the slight spiciness and zing from mustard powder. Yummy snack 🙂
Pamela says
Thanks Kiran!

That little jar with soy beans written on it? That’s so cute!!! Good on you for growing these – I love them and they’re SO expensive to buy. I might have to have a go.
