Air Fryer

Ingredients

3 cups frozen or fresh edamame still in the pod
1 teaspoon sesame oil
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Place the edamame in a large bowl and drizzle with the sesame oil, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.
Place the edamame in the basket of the air fryer.
Cook at 400 Fahrenheit (200 Celcius) for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through to ensure even cooking, and no stuck bits get burned.
If you prefer a more roasted flavor then add one or two minutes to the cooking time.
Serve and pop the beans out of the pod to eat.

Notes

You can use fresh or frozen edamame for this recipe.

Storage

Once cooked, store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.

Freezing

If you plan to freeze the cooked edamame, it is best to pop the beans out of the pod after cooking and then freeze them in a single layer.

This makes it easier to grab the amount needed for a particular recipe as they will not be stuck together.
