Edamame. It probably wouldn’t win a Most Popular Veggie contest! Or even a Most Popular Bean contest. But I really like edamame. And I like it even more when it is seasoned nicely!
The chipotle and lime in this recipe really create a flavorful side dish. However I admit that, even with the seasoning, Thing 1 and Thing 2 were not huge fans.
But this recipe was more tolerable for them than using just plain salt and pepper. And when it comes to kids and veggies, sometimes ‘more tolerable’ is the best you can do, haha. So I will take it! Especially since DH and I loved it.
Edamame is really good for you, too. It has protein, fiber, vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, iron, and more!

I have never seen these particular flavors combined with edamame but you can never go wrong with chipotle and lime. And the sunflower seeds sound like a great idea for extra texture.

Anyone know how you would store this or if it would need to be refrigerated. Looking for healthy on the go snacks and wondering how long this could keep in say a backpack.
Any Ideas?
Kristin King says
I typically store in the fridge, but I think it would keep for a day in a backpack. I would pack it in a container as opposed to a plastic bag, however. Otherwise it will squish! 🙂 Enjoy!
