The dish is ready in under 15 minutes, making it a fast and flavorful option for any occasion.

Blackstone Spicy Edamame

I cannot get enough of these edamame. They are addictive like popcorn or sunflower seeds. You want ONE MORE until all of the sudden the whole bowl is gone.

Using a Blackstone griddle gives you the high heat needed to get that slightly blistered texture on the edamame pods. Once the frozen shells hit the hot surface, they quickly defrost and sear. Garlic and ginger paste go in next, followed by Togarashi seasoning and chili garlic sauce to add both heat and depth.

This recipe is great for snacking, serving at parties, or pairing with grilled mains. The simple preparation, short cook time, and incredible flavors make it a reliable favorite that works well with other Asian-inspired dishes.

Can I make this in advance?

You can prep the ingredients ahead, but cook the edamame just before serving for the best flavor and texture.
