Baked Parmesan Edamame Bites with Creamy Wasabi Dip

"The bites are the ultimate in mini comfort food. Small, bite-sized, highly poppable, and easy to demolish. The bites are baked rather than being fried to keep them healthier. The breading is crispy, crunchy, and perfectly complements the chewy edamame. You can spice up the breading mixture with jerk or Creole seasoning, or add chili powder or cayenne. You can use the basic battering, breading, and baking technique with zucchini, asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, or most anything in your vegetable drawer. I used and recommend Panko breadcrumbs and they're sold nearby regular breadcrumbs. The bites have mild parmesan undertones but after a dunk in wasabi, it definitely dominates the flavor. If you don't like wasabi, try blue cheese or ranch dip...."
