Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Thoroughly pat the thawed edamame dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels; removing all surface moisture is the key to achieving a crispy result.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dried edamame with the extra virgin olive oil, nutritional yeast, sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Toss the ingredients until every bean is evenly coated in the savory spice and yeast mixture.
Spread the edamame out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded so they roast rather than steam.
Roast in the center of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the edamame are golden brown and slightly charred.
Remove from the oven and allow the beans to sit on the pan for 5 minutes, which helps them firm up and reach peak crunchiness before serving.
