Ingredients for Honey Chilli Edamame
Edamame- You need boiled/blanched Edamame, still in the shell.You can use frozen or fresh edamame thats been pre cooked.
If you have any more doubts about whats edamame and how to eat it, to take a look at my complete guide on how to cook Edamame.
Soy Sauce- You can use light or dark.I personally like dark soy sauce here.You can also use coconut aminos instead
Honey- I always have Raw local honey on hand.You can substitute honey with maple syrup or golden syrup
Chilli- I have used regular ground chilli.Feel free to use chilli flakes, grond chipotle chilli or paprika here.If you want to reduce the chilli
Because we are using dark soy sauce, you dont need salt.But if you are using light soy or coconut aminos, add a pinch of salt.
The flavour is carried in the pods.When you pop the edamame bean out, you will get some of the sticky sauce on your hands.
The other way to eat these is to suck the pods in your mouth.I know that sounds messy on sooo many levels but try one!
This recipe is one of those craving satisfiers.
The mix of flavours - the saltiness from the Soy, the sweet stickiness from the honey and the hit of chilli.It's just the right mix!

Air fryer Frozen Edamame
Can we use frozen edamame in the air fryer.Yes!
I use frozen(pre blanched or boiled)Edamame straight in the airfryer.
The other way to do this is to thaw the edamame in a bowl of water for 3-4 minutes.But if you are airfrying edamame, i dont think its needed.
In the video, you can see my edamame is frozen.
You do have to air fry the frozen edamame for longer- for about 13 minutes at 180C or 365F.Thawed Edamame should be ready within 10 minutes.
Fresh Edamame in Air fryer
To use Fresh Edamame in this recipe, Blanch the fresh whole edamame in boiling water for 8-10 minutes.
You can watch the video of blanching whole edamame here.
Serving Honey Chilli Edamame
If you are eating by yourself, i dont think you need any accompaniment.
If you want to serve this to guests, i would suggest you serve this along with some chips- nachos or Pita Chips and maybe a dip like my 5 minute yogurt dip.
