Healthy Snack Recipes: Edamame Bruschetta

Getting on a healthy and nutritious eating plan is not that hard really, even when it comes to snacking. This is another type of bruschetta recipe that I really like. I used edamame for this recipe because I like how tasteful it is, even when eaten on its own. You can use other type of beans if you like. This green bruschetta, just like the previous recipe of tomato bruschetta is easy to make and great to go on snacking with. Suitable for the whole family.

Edamame Bruschetta

It takes around 15 minutes to make and serves 4 people. It’s best that you boil the edamame beans beforehand, and let it chill in the fridge for a while before you start preparing the snack. Extra virgin olive oil will give it a light taste and if you don’t like it spicy, reduce the amount of chilies or don’t use it at all. Instead, you can dash in a little paprika to give a little bit of color and mild taste to it. Happy trying~!

.

Ingredients:-

• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 garlic clove of medium size
• ½ tsp of crushed dried chilies
• A handful of mint leaves
• 250 g shelled edamame, boiled for a while
• 8 slices of wholemeal French loaf
• Salt and pepper

For garnishing:-

• Some grated parmesan cheese

How to make / prepare Edamame Bruschetta

1. Crush one of the garlic while leaving another one whole.
2. Then you can start off by combining the oil, crushed garlic, crushed chilies and mint in a bowl and leave to infuse for about 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, lightly crush the edamame in a separate bowl with a fork. Since it’ll be a little soft, don’t tend to over crush it.
4. Season with salt and pepper, then toss into the oil mixture with the crushed garlic, chilies and mint leaves.
5. Take some time off to get the toast bread ready. Make sure you toast the bread on both sides under a preheated medium grill or in a preheated ridged griddle pan.
6. Right after you take the toasted bread out of the oven, quickly rub them with the remaining garlic. Top the edamame mixture on each of the toasted breads.
7. Sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese on top of it and they’re ready to be serve immediately.
