Easy 10 Minute Air Fryer Edamame
Quick, crispy, and loaded with flavor, this air fryer edamame is the perfect snack or appetizer, ready in 10 minutes with no thawing needed.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
- Air fryer
Ingredients
- 1 16oz bag frozen edamame in the shell
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- everything but the bagel seasoning or sesame seeds *optional
Instructions
- Add the frozen edamame to the basket of your air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for 5 minutes, shake, and cook for another 5 minutes or until the outsides are crispy and the inside is soft.
- While the edamame is cooking, combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
- Once the edamame are done cooking, add them to the bowl with the sauce and toss everything together. Serve topped with everything but the bagel seasoning or sesame seeds.
Notes
Do I Need to Thaw Frozen Edamame First?
Nope, there is no need to defrost! Cooking them straight from frozen works better in most cases. The extra moisture turns into steam, which helps soften the beans while the air fryer crisps up the outer shell.
Do I Cook the Whole Shell?
Yep! But don’t eat the shell! I repeat, don’t eat the shell. Just cook them in the pod, then pop the little beans out with your teeth like you do at a sushi bar.
Storing:
Let the edamame cool completely before storing. Once cooled, toss them in an airtight container and pop them in the fridge. They’ll stay good for 4-5 days.
Reheating:
-
- Air Fryer: 375°F for 2–3 minutes. Shake about halfway through cooking.
-
- Microwave: Throw them in a bowl, cover with a damp paper towel, and heat for 30–60 seconds. They won’t be crispy, but they’ll still taste good.
-
- Skillet: Heat a pan, splash in some sesame oil or coconut aminos, and toss the edamame for a couple of minutes.
- Taste bland? If your edamame tastes plain, toss them with a bit of oil and seasoning before air frying, then hit them again as soon as they’re done.
- Texture’s Off? This usually happens when they’re not cooked long enough. Try adding another minute or 2 to the cooking time. Also, be sure to shake the basket halfway through cooking!
- Sticking? If your beans are clinging to the basket, lightly spray the basket with avocado oil or olive oil before cooking. You can also use a parchment paper liner for your air fryer basket.
