Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Pat the thawed edamame completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Toss the dried edamame with sesame oil, minced garlic, and sea salt in a large bowl until evenly coated.
Tip: Work quickly so the garlic doesn't burn when it hits the heat.
- 3
Spread the coated edamame in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan or they'll steam instead of roast.

Roast in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the beans are golden and slightly crispy on the outside.
Tip: Watch closely toward the end as they can brown quickly.

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with white and black sesame seeds, chili flakes if using, and a drizzle of rice vinegar.
Tip: The heat will toast the seeds lightly and help the vinegar flavor bloom.

Toss everything together gently and transfer to a serving bowl. Let cool for a few minutes before eating.
