Scale

Ingredients

  • 16 oz Frozen Edamame
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the edamame: Toss the frozen edamame pods with the vegetable oil to coat them evenly, ensuring a light, crispy texture when air fried.
  2. Arrange in air fryer basket: Place the oiled edamame pods into the air fryer basket. They don’t need to be laid out in a single layer, but avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
  3. First air frying: Air fry the edamame at 400°F (about 200°C) for 6 minutes to begin roasting and heating the pods thoroughly.
  4. Toss for even cooking: Open the air fryer and toss the edamame pods around in the basket to redistribute them, ensuring they roast evenly on all sides.
  5. Second air frying: Return the basket to the air fryer and cook at 400°F for an additional 6 minutes until the edamame is perfectly crispy and cooked through.
  6. Season and serve: Transfer the cooked edamame to a clean bowl, toss with lemon juice and sea salt, and serve immediately as a warm, savory snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • Use frozen edamame in pods for best texture and ease of preparation.
  • You can substitute sea salt with kosher salt or flaky salt for a different texture.
  • Adjust lemon juice quantity to taste for additional tangy flavor.
  • Feel free to add spices like chili flakes or garlic powder for a flavor twist.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow for even roasting.
