  • Green Beans: I love using fresh beans; I cut the ends off to make them uniform before i cook them in the air fryer.
  • Olive oil: Just a little bit of olive oil is all you need. It helps the seasoning stick to the green beans. 
  • Garlic powder: it just elevates the taste of any roasted vegetables. 
  • Salt and pepper: You can add to your preference. 
  • Lemon Juice: a few drops of lemon juice will give these roasted green beans a fresh flavor.

How To Air Fryer Green Beans

  • Prepare: Start by trimming ½ inch of the ends of the green beans and getting rid of the stems. You can snap the beans with your hands or just use a knife or scissors to trim the ends. 
  • Combine: In a large bowl, add washed green beans, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use tongs or a spatula to toss and coat the seasoning to the green beans nicely. 
  • Cook: Place the seasoned beans in your air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 370 degrees for about 5 minutes.
  • Shake the basket: Shake the basket halfway through and cook for another 5 minutes or until golden brown and tender.
  • Serve and enjoy it with your favorite protein!
