Print Recipe

A quick, flavorful, and healthy snack made by air frying frozen edamame pods tossed with garlic powder and sea salt for a crispy, protein-packed treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces frozen edamame pods (shelled or in pods)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus extra for finishing
  • Olive oil spray (optional, for crispiness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it warm up for 3-5 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the frozen edamame pods. Spray lightly with olive oil if using.
  3. Toss with 1 teaspoon garlic powder and ½ teaspoon sea salt until evenly coated. If pods are wet from thawing, pat dry first.
  4. Spread the edamame out in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed to avoid crowding.
  5. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket or stirring the edamame halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  6. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle extra sea salt on top while hot.
  7. Serve warm immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Notes

Preheat the air fryer to ensure crispiness. Pat edamame dry if thawed to help seasoning stick. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to avoid uneven cooking. Use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic to prevent burning. Olive oil spray is optional but recommended for better crispiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer to regain crispness; avoid microwaving.
