Method
- 1
Toss frozen edamame with sesame oil, garlic powder, and sea salt. No need to thaw.
- 2
Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway, until pods are slightly blistered and charred.
- 3
Toss with your choice of seasoning while hot.
- 4
Eat by squeezing beans out of the pods.
- 5
Discard the pods.
Pro tip. Straight from frozen works perfectly — no thawing needed. The pods get slightly charred and crispy, adding a smoky flavor. Sesame oil ties it together. Try furikake seasoning for an amazing Japanese-inspired twist.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 10 minutes. The same dish takes about 16 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
