Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Lemon wedges and grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Wash the green beans thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Trim the tough stem ends off the beans using a sharp knife or by snapping them by hand.
- Place the trimmed green beans into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the beans and toss them well to ensure every bean is lightly coated. Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the beans. Toss once more to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes. Place the seasoned green beans into the air fryer basket in an even layer. Do not overcrowd the basket; work in batches if necessary. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, shake the basket vigorously to move the beans around.
- Once the beans are tender and show slight blistering or golden edges, remove them from the air fryer. Transfer the beans to a serving platter immediately. If desired, squeeze a fresh lemon wedge over the top or sprinkle with a bit of Parmesan cheese while they are still hot. Serve immediately for the best texture.
- Cook Time: 13 minutes
