Equipment

Air Fryer

Mixing Bowl - Medium

Ingredients

250 g Edamame/Soya Beans
2 tsp Vegetable Oil
1 tsp Sea Salt Flakes

Instructions

If your air fryer has a preheat setting, start this now.
Rinse and thoroughly dry 250g Edamame/Soya Beans. Put them into a bowl.
Drizzle over 2 tsp Vegetable Oil and add 1 tsp Sea Salt Flakes. Toss to fully coat the beans.
Tip the beans into the air fryer basket and give them a shake to make sure they're evenly spread.
I did lose a couple down the centre hole of my crisper rack - it really didn't matter but you might want to try and avoid any holes in your rack.
Air fry for 9 minutes at 200c/390f. Give the beans a shake midway through the cooking time to ensure that they cook evenly - especially if they are not quite sitting in a single layer.

Notes

Portion Size - The portion size given assumes that the beans are being served as part of a larger meal. Double the recipe (or consider the portion number halved) if making the edamame the main vegetable on your meal.
This recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (‎CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I managed to easily fit in 250g of shelled beans. These just sit nicely in a single layer. If you need to pack them in more, just make sure to shake them a few extra times during the cooking process to make sure they all have their turn at the top of the pile.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
