Chef's Tips

For a smoother texture, you can pulse the edamame in a food processor a few times before mixing it with the other ingredients.

Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of sriracha mayo for extra flavor.

These bites can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
