Ingredients
- 16 oz frozen edamame
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the edamame: In a mixing bowl, toss the frozen edamame pods with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil until they are evenly coated. This helps the pods crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the coated edamame pods in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
- First air fry: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook the edamame for 6 minutes. This initial cooking starts the roasting process.
- Toss and continue air frying: Remove the basket and gently toss the edamame pods to ensure even cooking, then air fry for an additional 6 minutes at 400°F.
- Season and serve: Transfer the cooked edamame to a bowl, toss with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of sea salt, then serve warm as a healthy snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Be sure to not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- You can adjust the seasoning to your taste; adding chili flakes or garlic powder makes a great variation.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Frozen edamame should not be thawed before cooking—air frying from frozen yields the best results.
