Notes

No need to thaw the edamame first. It cooks best straight from frozen.
Don’t overcrowd the basket or the edamame will steam instead of blister.
A light coating of oil helps the pods get those slightly crisp, wrinkled edges.
Shake the tray or basket halfway through cooking for more even browning and texture.
Edamame is best served hot and fresh right out of the air fryer.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, but keep in mind the pods will soften as they sit.
