Mashed Edamame

My fiance and I have started eating healthier, and have added edamame to our regular diet. While they taste fine, I found the texture unappealing. After some experimentation, I've come up with a delicious and healthy way to prepare it. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over mashed edamame to serve.
