Air Fryer Green Beans
Description
This recipe starts with fresh, trimmed green beans coated uniformly in olive oil and spices including garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cooking in an air fryer at 375°F for about 8 minutes with a midway toss ensures even roasting while keeping them crisp-tender.
The seasoning is simple, allowing the natural flavor of the green beans to stand out with a mild garlic note and subtlesaltiness. The air fryer method provides a roasted texture without deep frying, resulting in a lighter dish with slight caramelization.
These green beans can be served as a quick side alongside main courses or as a snack. Their easy preparation and quick cook time make them practical for weeknight meals.
To vary the flavor, one can add crushed red pepper flakes for spice, sprinkle with cheese after cooking, or garnish with fresh herbs and lemon zest, as suggested in the additional seasoning ideas.

- 1 lb. Green bean trimmed, fresh
- 1 Tbsp olive oil 15g

Notes
