Garlic edamame is a rather addictive, yet nutritious and healthy recipe you’ll want to make often. So much better than chips, or unhealthy snacks, it’s also a great option as an appetizer.

Do you want to know how to make these at home? This garlic edamame recipe is so simple, there’s really nothing to it!
My friend Debbie and I discovered them whilst sitting poolside at the spa at Terranea Resort and Spa, here in Los Angeles. We devoured them so quickly and both were immediately smitten with these salty, delicious morsels!
The food is spot on at Terranea, and we later had garlic shishito peppers, which were also rather addictive!

Edamame are an excellent choice for healthy snacking as they are high in protein and are low in calories. In fact, my daughter created an edamame salad many years ago, which we still enjoy.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as Debbie and I did!

More travels will come at the end of the year for me and I cannot wait – You made me itching for more exploration! That being said… Last year at this time I found out that I scored a random trip to Taiwan, so….. THE SAME COULD HAPPEN again for this year ;)
Wow, that’s awesome, GiGi! Hope your happy travels continue and I know you’d love Terranea!
It’s funny- I lived in San Diego for 28 years and had no idea about this place. It looks like the perfect vacation spot for my husband and me… we love ocean views, amazing spas and that food looks fabulous! I’m thinking it would be a great surprise for our anniversary!
That’s a great idea, Lori! Maybe you didn’t know about Terranea as it only opened in 2009.
My husband and I love to find new places to travel to and this sounds right up our alley. And love the edamame!
Good! I’m glad you know about Terranea now, Kristen and I’m sure you’d both love it!
What a fun trip! And that edamame sounds like the perfect snack.
It’s going to be in the regular rotation here, Jordan!
