Ingredients
Green Beans
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Toppings
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan (optional)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking and achieve the perfect crispy texture.
- Season the Green Beans: Toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place the seasoned green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate and cook them uniformly.
- Air Fry: Cook the green beans for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even crisping on all sides.
- Add Optional Toppings and Serve: Sprinkle the cooked green beans with grated Parmesan if desired and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for a bright, tangy finish.
Notes
- Add red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicy kick to the green beans.
- Cook in batches if your air fryer basket is small to avoid overcrowding, which prevents even cooking and crispiness.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
