Total time: 8 min • Prep: 5 min • Cook: 3 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy

This easy appetizer or side dish puts an Indian twist on edamame by incorporating traditional spices like curry powder, cinnamon, and coriander. You can leave out the cayenne pepper if you would prefer a milder taste. Or, if you prefer a little more heat, stir in ground red pepper along with the other spices. You can find edamame in the freezer section, both shelled and unshelled. Pick up shelled for this recipe to make quick work of preparing this snack. Since frozen edamame is already cooked, it just needs a few minutes to reheat. You can serve this hot, at room temperature, or chilled.
