Roasted Chile-Spiced Edamame

Serve these edamame in place of peanuts with cocktails - they're high in protein but lower in fat than nuts, at only 3 grams per serving - and all the heart-healthy kind!

Allow 1 (14-ounce) package of frozen shelled edamame to thaw ahead of time. Once thawed, arrange the edamame in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. ground ginger and 1/2 tsp. ground red pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the edamame, and toss to coat.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 and 1/2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.

You'll have 5 servings of 1/4 cup and 120 calories each.

Cost:
frozen shelled edamame $3.49
