Air Fryer Green Beans
Description
Starting with trimmed fresh green beans, the recipe calls for coating them evenly with olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Cooking in a single layer in a preheated 380ºF air fryer for 8-10 minutes crisps the beans, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The result is green beans that maintain their snap with a lightly crisp exterior.
Finishing with fresh lemon juice adds acidity and brightness that complements the natural flavor of the beans. The recipe suggests serving immediately to maintain texture.
This dish provides a quick vegetable side that requires minimal hands-on time and no stove usage. It pairs well with a variety of main courses.
Green beans can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, allowing leftovers to be reheated if needed.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Green bean fresh
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- lemon for serving, wedges
Instructions
- Preheat an air fryer to 380ºF.
- Prepare the green beans by trimming their stems and cutting larger ones in half so they are relatively equal in size, if needed.
- Place the cleaned trimmed green beans in a large bowl along with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Transfer the green beans to the air fryer and shake the basket to make sure they're in a single layer. You may need to cook in two batches. Cook until crisp tender, shaking the basket halfway through, for 8-10 minutes total.

Notes
- Store cooked green beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
