Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and rinsed Fresh green beans are crucial for the best flavor
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For added flavor and crispiness
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Enhances the flavor profile
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Adds depth to the flavor
  • to taste salt and pepper Essential for flavor
Optional Toppings
  • to taste grated Parmesan For a zesty finish
  • to taste lemon zest For extra zing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim off the ends. Make sure they are dry to achieve the best possible crispiness.
  2. In a bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for about 5 minutes, which is key to achieving that crispy texture.
Cooking
  1. Place the seasoned green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
  2. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  3. After 8 minutes, check for desired crispiness. If you prefer them crunchier, add an extra minute or two.
Serving
  1. Once perfectly crispy, remove the green beans, sprinkle with optional toppings, and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

Store any remaining green beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
