Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed Wash and trim the beans before starting.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper Optional.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Optional for a zesty finish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the fresh green beans thoroughly. Trim off any tough ends and set them aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the green beans are evenly coated in the seasoning.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Place the seasoned green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  2. Check for doneness; the green beans should be crispy yet tender. If you prefer them crunchier, add an extra minute or two.
Finishing Touches
  1. Once cooked, drizzle with lemon juice and enjoy immediately.

Notes

For optional flavor variations, consider using other seasonings such as paprika or Parmesan. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for the best results.
