How about pairing Air Fryer Edamame up with some Corn On The Cob for a delicious side dish or snack? I can’t think of much that will not work!

Storing leftovers

Cooked edamame pods can be frozen whole (or shelled) for up to 12 months. To reheat from frozen, simply cook in boiling water for a few minutes.

You can also store it in the fridge for a few days.

Tips and tricks

Notes: The edamame has a slightly hairy pod that cannot be eaten. Inside are usually 2-3 plump soybeans. You can east this at room temperature by pressing the pod with your fingers to remove the seeds.

Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the “Air Fry” function.

Pro Tip:ย Check your food as it cooks.ย Each air fryer runs a bit differently.ย Sometimes airfrying is a trial-and-error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better!ย  When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
