Air fry them at 380 degrees F for 9-12 minutes, shaking halfway through.

Can these be made in oven? Don't have an air fryer.
Probably you may just have to cook them for a bit longer.

Sounds yum! Thanks for the simple yet interesting recipe. Seems like a very silly question but do we eat the peel as well or just the edamame beans inside?
Just the inside, but they are served with the shell.
