Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Green Beans

Step 2: Season the Green Beans

  2. Mix well to coat evenly.
Step 3: Air Fry the Green Beans
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 2 minutes.
  2. Spread the green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  3. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

Notes

  • Extra crispy? Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  • Cheesy option? Toss with Parmesan or nutritional yeast before serving.
  • Want roasted vibes? Use butter instead of olive oil for a richer flavor.
