Frozen Edamame Recipe
For this delicious snack we used frozen Edamame. For years we followed the instructions on the frozen edamame bag and boiled them frozen, strained, and tossed them with salt.
One day while enjoying edamame at a local restaurant, Nate said “I wonder how these would be air fried.”
A couple days later, in the mood for a snack, I started making regular edamame and then after I strained it, tossed in some sesame oil and coconut aminos and added them into the air fryer.
When they finished baking, we tried them and LOVED them! It was still so simple to make and yet became a better crispy snack!
Frozen to Air Fryer Method
We also tested adding the frozen edamame tossed with sauce directly into the air fryer. While this method works, if you’re looking for a crispy snack the edamame won’t be as crispy compared to boiling them first.
Difference in Soybeans vs Edamame
Edamame and Soybeans are actually the same legume. Edamame are soft green and young beans, technically young soybeans. On the other hand, the soybeans we know and use to make soymilk, tofu and soy sauce come from the matured white bean pods of the same plant.
Cleaning Air Fryer Tips
For this recipe, since it is fried with the sauce, we reccommend cleaning or at least soaking the basket before the sauce dries inside. Once we empty the air fryer basket we typically spray the basket with water and at minimum let the basket soak while we enjoy our delicious snack.
