Instructions
Pre-heat Air Fryer at 379°F (193°C). Set at 15 minutes for 2 Air Fryer trays.
In a small container, combine ichimi togarashi (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Place the two Air Fryer trays on two baking sheets and generously grease the trays.
Place the edamame in pods in a single layer on the two Air Fryer trays.
Drizzle oil all over the edamame in pods and gently toss using flat kitchen tongs. Sprinkle the salt mixture all over the greased edamame in pods.
Slowly insert the Air Fryer trays into the middle and lower cooking chambers.
Air fry the seasoned edamame in pods in the two Air Fryer trays for 8 minutes, then drizzle homemade teriyaki sauce over the first tray located in the middle cooking chamber. Gently toss the edamame in pods and return to the middle cooking chamber.
Continue to Air Fry for 1 to 2 minutes until crisp golden and remove the Air Fryer tray from the middle cooking chamber.
Once the first tray in the middle cooking chamber has been removed, transfer the other tray into the middle cooking chamber and continue to Air Fry for 3 to 5 minutes. Drizzle with homemade teriyaki sauce and Air Fry for 1 to 2 minutes until crisp golden.
If the Air Fryer uses a basket, add the crisper plate, then insert the basket into the Air Fryer unit. Place the edamame in pods in a single layer. Each batch of edamame in pods in air fried for 8 minutes before drizzling the homemade teriyaki sauce and follow accordingly.
Transfer the cooked edamame in pods on a serving plate and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
The minimal addition of Ichimi Togarashi provides a bit of kick that’s not overwhelming. Ichimi Togarashi is Japanese chili pepper, also known as ground red chili pepper and in some cases, Japanese chili powder.
Japanese cuisine uses sea salt but kosher salt may be an alternative.
