Air Fryer Green Beans
Description
This recipe involves coating trimmed fresh green beans evenly in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. After preheating the air fryer, the green beans are placed in a single layer in the basket to cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, shaken halfway through to promote even cooking and crisping. The result is green beans with a slight crunch and bright, savory seasoning.
The use of air frying reduces the amount of oil needed compared to traditional frying, making the green beans a lighter side dish option. Their fresh, vibrant vegetable flavor pairs well with a variety of mains.
Leftover green beans can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days and reheated gently.

Notes
