Equipment
- Air fryer
- large mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Tongs or a spatula
Ingredients
- 1 bag edamame in the pod, typically 12-16 oz
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking and a crispy finish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the edamame, soy sauce, garlic powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the edamame is evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned edamame in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure the pods cook evenly. If necessary, cook in batches.
- Air fry the edamame for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even crispiness. The pods should be slightly browned and aromatic when done.
- Transfer the cooked edamame to a serving bowl. You can sprinkle a little extra salt or pepper on top if desired. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Storage Instructions:
- Refrigerate: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Freezing: While it’s best to cook edamame fresh, you can freeze leftovers for up to a month. Thaw and reheat as needed.
