Ingredients

• 200 g frozen shelled edamame (see notes below)

• 1 tsp oil (avocado or olive oil works great)

• Sea salt, to taste

• Black pepper, to taste

• Seasonings of choice — garlic powder and onion powder are perfect

---

Method

1. Preheat:
   Heat your air fryer to 200°C.

2. Season:
   Add the edamame, oil, salt, pepper, and chosen seasonings to a bowl.
   Mix until every piece is well coated.

3. Air fry:
   Transfer to your air fryer basket or tray.
   Air fry for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway through, until lightly golden and crisp.
   You can also bake them in the oven — just allow a bit more time and stir halfway for even cooking.

4. Serve:
   Let cool for a few minutes (they crisp up more as they cool).
   Enjoy your protein-packed snack!

Tips & Variations

• No need to thaw!
  You can cook them straight from frozen — just air fry a little longer.
  For extra crunch, thaw or microwave first, then pat very dry before seasoning.

• Flavor ideas:

  • Chili flakes or paprika for a spicy kick

  • Lemon pepper for brightness

  • Nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor

  • Smoked paprika + garlic for a BBQ-style taste

• Oven method:
  Bake at 200°C for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway.

• Storage:
  Best eaten fresh, but can be stored in a container for up to 24 hours.
  Re-crisp in the air fryer for 3–5 minutes.
