Servings 2 serves
Calories 258kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups shelled edamame 300 g, thawed if frozen or 2 cups edamame in pods (250 g)
- 1 tbsp neutral oil 15 ml, optional
- 1 to 1½ tbsp soy sauce or tamari 15–22 ml
- Sea salt to taste
Optional Toppings
- 1 tsp sesame seeds 3 g
- ¼ tsp chili flakes 0.5 g
- ¼ tsp togarashi 0.5 g
- 1 garlic clove crushed (3 g)
Instructions
- If using shelled edamame, thaw if frozen and pat very dry with paper towels. If using edamame pods, use straight from frozen or fresh.
- Place the edamame in a bowl and toss with the oil and a pinch of sea salt.
- Transfer to the air fryer basket in an even layer.
- Air fry, stirring every few minutes with a spatula to encourage even browning.
- About halfway through cooking, drizzle the soy sauce or tamari over the edamame and stir to coat.
- Continue cooking until the edamame is lightly browned around the edges and hot throughout.
- Finish with extra salt and any optional toppings. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Shelled edamame becomes crisp around the edges with a slightly chewy center.
- Edamame pods stay tender inside with a lightly crisp exterior.
- For the best texture, serve immediately after cooking.
- I use the Our Place Wonder Oven in air fryer mode for this recipe.
