Steamed Edamame
Edamame is immature and whole soybeans. Unlike regular soybeans with light brown color, they are typically green. You often find edamame sold frozen in the supermarket. There are many ways to prepare them, including microwaving, pan-frying, steaming, and boiling. One cup of edamame provides around 18 g of protein and only 14 g of carbohydrates. For a low-carb snack, you may put shelled edamame into a container with water. Cover it with a paper towel and then microwave for a few minutes until the beans become tender. Add a bit of salt if you want and enjoy. [3]
