    Recipe Tips

    • If you want to add a bit of extra flavor, you can experiment with different seasonings and spices. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin are all great options that would work well with the edamame.
    • Add a small amount of lemon or lime juice with the olive oil to help the seasonings stick.
    • If you like your snacks extra crispy, you can air fry the edamame for a few extra minutes. Just be careful not to overcook it, or it may become too dry.

    Variations

    • Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the olive oil mixture before coating the edamame. This will give it a spicy kick that pairs well with the crispy texture.
    • Sweet and spicy: Mix together some honey and sriracha and toss it with the edamame before air frying. This will give it a sweet and spicy glaze that's irresistible.
    • Garlic and herb: Add some garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to the olive oil mixture before coating the edamame. This will give it a savory and aromatic flavor that's perfect for snacking.
    • Sesame: Mix together some sesame oil, soy sauce, and honey, and toss it with the edamame before air frying. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top before serving to add a nutty crunch.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Let the air fried edamame cool down to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

    Freezing: If you have a large batch of edamame, you can freeze it for later. Let the edamame cool down to room temperature, then transfer it to a freezer safe container or freezer bag. Freeze it for up to 2-3 months.

    Thawing: When you're ready to eat the frozen edamame, transfer it to the refrigerator and let it thaw overnight. Once thawed, you can reheat it in the air fryer.
