Edamame in Pods:

1. Start with a bag of frozen edamame in pods (found at most grocery stores). Rinse them under cold water to remove any ice crystals.

2. Pat the edamame dry with a paper towel and transfer them to a mixing bowl.

3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top and sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Toss the edamame pods around to get an even coating.

4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 5 minutes. Once it's ready, place the edamame in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

5. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the pods are crispy and tender on the inside. You can pause the air fryer halfway through and shake the basket to ensure even cooking.
