# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The air fryer transforms these humble beans into something restaurant-worthy in ten minutes flat
  • You can eat mountains of them without that post snack regret we all know too well
02 -
  • Overcrowding the basket leads to steamed beans instead of crispy ones, so resist the urge to cook everything at once
  • The seasoning mixture adheres better to room temperature beans, so let them thaw and dry thoroughly first
03 -
  • Serve with small bowls for discarded pods to keep your serving area tidy
  • Try shichimi togarashi instead of chili flakes for an authentic Japanese spice blend experience
