Air-Fried Sesame Garlic Edamame Pods 🧄

‫1.The Aromatic Emulsion:‏2 min.

In a large bowl, whisk together the toasted sesame oil, grated garlic paste, soy sauce, and chili flakes until fully combined.

‫2.The Pod Saturation:‏2 min.

Thoroughly dry the thawed edamame pods with a kitchen towel. Dump them into the bowl with the garlic-sesame mixture and toss vigorously until every pod is completely coated in the savory lacquer.

‫3.The High-Velocity Char:‏8 min.

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Spread the coated edamame pods into the basket in an even layer. Air fry for 7–8 minutes, shaking the basket violently at the 4-minute mark, until the pods are tender and show beautiful, localized dark blisters.

‫4.The Sesame Shower:‏Finish.

Transfer the blistering hot edamame to a serving bowl, scrape any residual garlic oil from the basket over the top, and toss immediately with the toasted sesame seeds. Pop the sweet beans out of the seasoned pods directly into your mouth!
