- Blitz into a fine consistency.
- Place the lime juice in a small bowl and add the olive oil to it.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix everything together so it is combined.
- Pour the mixture all over the edamame beans and use your hands or a spoon to thoroughly coat the beans.

Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- It is normal for the beans to lose their crispiness, to re-crisp simply put them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp up again.
- Don't forget to do a taste taste of the dry ingredients after you have milled them as you may want to add more of a specific ingredient.
- Also, do a taste test of the actual rub, again adjust the taste if necessary.
- Feel free to make other flavours including using soy(a) sauce, sesame oil, parsley, thyme etc...
