Mexican spices add a nice twist to this flavored edamame that can be served as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. You can really mix and match with spices to create a range of flavor profiles that keep it within the Mexican theme. Consider adding paprika, garlic powder, and ground red pepper to the spice mix for a bolder spin on this dish. Your edamame should be slightly damp when you toss it with the seasoning to help it stick. If you like this Mexican version, you can also experiment with a range of other flavor profiles that pair well with the versatile, healthy edamame. Try our Indian and Japanese varieties, too.
