Ingredients
  

2 cups frozen shelled edamame

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust according to your spice preference)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Edamame: Bring a medium-sized pot filled with water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the frozen edamame and cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until they are tender yet retain a slight firmness. Once cooked, drain thoroughly and set them aside.

    Prepare the Garlic Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from browning, until it becomes fragrant.

      Combine Edamame and Seasoning: Add the drained edamame to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat them well in the aromatic garlic oil. Season the mixture with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, making sure everything is evenly combined.

        Add the Cheese and Lemon: Remove the skillet from the heat source. Generously sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the warm edamame, allowing it to soften and melt slightly. Drizzle the mixture with fresh lemon juice, stirring until all ingredients are beautifully melded together.

          Garnish and Serve: Carefully transfer the cheesy garlic edamame to a serving bowl. Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley, adding a vibrant touch of color and a burst of freshness. Enjoy this delightful dish warm as an appetizer or snack that's sure to impress!
