Air Fryer Green Beans

 

Oh, how I love my air fryer. It turns out the most awesome French fries and tater tots. And don't pass up the opportunity to fire it up for all kinds of veggies, too. I used Yumna Jawad's green bean recipe last week and they were air fried to perfection. Nice and crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside.

The trick here is to make sure the green beans are in a single layer on the bottom of your air fryer. My air fryer is a 5.6 quart size...and I found that 10 ounces of green beans were the perfect amount for a single layer. So if you need a larger serving, cook your beans in batches. And eat them right away...they are at peak crispness the second they come out of the air fryer. 

INGREDIENTS
10-ounces fresh green beans, ends trimmed

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Kosher salt

Fresh ground black pepper

Lemon wedges, for serving

 

DIRECTIONS

1. Place green beans in a zip lock bag. Add olive oil. Seal bag and toss to coat.
2. Preheat air fryer at 380º for 2 minutes.
3. Empty beans from bag into a single layer in your air fryer. Cook for 10 minutes at 380º, shaking the pan half way through.
4. Remove beans from pan and plate them. Season with salt and pepper and top with lemon wedges for your guests to squeeze. Serve.
