Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil divided
  • 1 340 g shelled edamame, thawed and dried
  • 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups plantain chips
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray for even roasting
  2. Toss the edamame with melted coconut oil until lightly coated and glossy
  3. Spread the edamame in a single layer and roast until golden and slightly crisp, stirring occasionally for even browning
  4. In a bowl, whisk together tamari, curry paste, lime juice, spices, and remaining oil until smooth and aromatic
  5. Remove the edamame and sprinkle lightly with salt while still warm
  6. Add plantain chips and chopped cashews to the tray, then drizzle the spice mixture over everything
  7. Toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated and fragrant
  8. Return to the oven and bake until the mixture becomes crisp and slightly toasted
  9. Sprinkle coconut flakes over the mix and bake briefly until lightly golden
  10. Allow the mixture to cool completely, letting the coating set and the texture become crunchy
  11. Finish with lime zest for a fresh, citrusy aroma before serving
