Is Edamame Gluten-Free?
Edamame beans are naturally gluten-free and no cholesterol. They provide protein, iron, and zinc.
What is Hot Honey?
If you’ve never tried hot honey, it’s fantastic. Hot honey is chili pepper infused honey, so you get a slight kick of heat flavor along with the sweet honey taste.
You can find hot honey at your local grocery store. I highly recommend getting a bottle for cooking or just drizzling over soft cheese such as goat cheese. YUM!
After testing a few different ways to make edamame, the hot honey roasted edamame technique in the oven was the tastiest. Best of all… it’s super easy with only a few steps!
