How To Make Jamie Oliver Air Fryer Sesame Mangetout
- Prepare the air fryer: Remove the shelf from the air-fryer drawer to create more space.
- Toss ingredients: Add mangetout to the drawer and mix with oyster sauce and sesame oil.
- Add sesame seeds: Scatter sesame seeds evenly over the coated mangetout.
- Air fry: Cook at 180ºC for 8 to 10 minutes, until the seeds are toasted and the pods are slightly charred.
- Serve: Enjoy as a side or pair with noodles and salmon.
Recipe Tips
- Freshness matters: Use crisp, vibrant green mangetout for best texture.
- Even coating: Toss thoroughly to ensure every pod is flavored.
- Don’t overcrowd: For crisp results, avoid piling the mangetout too high.
- Add spice: A pinch of chili flakes brings heat if desired.
- Quick cleanup: Use parchment paper liners in the air fryer to reduce mess.
Best Sides For Sesame Mangetout

How To Store Sesame Mangetout
Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer to bring back some crispness.
Freeze: Not ideal—freezing will soften the texture of the mangetout.
