Air Fryer Edamame
Description
This recipe cooks frozen, unshelled edamame directly in the air fryer at 200℃ (400℉) for about 10 minutes, shaking halfway to ensure even heat distribution. Tamari, a soy-based sauce, is added midway to infuse a savory glaze. The recipe finishes with a sprinkle of sea salt and sesame seeds, enhancing the edamame's natural sweetness with salty and nutty accents.
The cooking technique yields edamame that are evenly heated and slightly roasted without the softness often associated with boiling. The texture is tender with a minimal chew, making it enjoyable as a quick snack or accompaniment.
For flavor variation, chili sesame oil or chili flakes like Shichimi Togarashi can be added to introduce heat and complexity, suitable for those who prefer a spicy kick.
Ingredients
- 17 oz edamame unshelled, frozen
- 1 ½ tablespoon tamari or soy sauce

Instructions
- Add your frozen edamame to the air fryer basket.
- Set the air fryer to 200 C (400F) for 10 minutes.
- When the edamame has been cooking for five minutes, open the air fryer, shake the basket so the edamame beans cook evenly, add some tamari or soy sauce, and keep cooking.

Notes
- Adding chili sesame oil or chili flakes can introduce a spicy, aromatic layer to the edamame.
