Air-Fried Sesame Garlic Edamame Pods 🧄

A stellar, high-impact snack that takes standard edamame out of the boring steaming basket and transforms it with a deeply charred, aromatic glaze. By roasting the pods under high convection heat, the outer skins slightly blister, absorbing a rich, nutty sesame and garlic matrix that makes every single bite explosive with savory depth.
