Ingredients
  

2 cups frozen edamame (in pods)

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Salt, to taste

Chopped cilantro or green onions, for garnish (optional)

Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Edamame: In a medium pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the frozen edamame and cook for about 4-5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

    Make the Spicy Sauce: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

      Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked edamame into the skillet, stirring to coat them in the garlic oil mixture. Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey (or agave syrup). Mix well until the edamame is evenly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

        Finish and Serve: Remove from heat and drizzle with fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of salt to taste. Transfer the edamame to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

          Enjoy: Serve warm as a delightful snack or appetizer, and enjoy the spicy, garlicky goodness!
