Equipment
- 5.8 quart basket air fryer (Cosori XL) or other model
Ingredients
- ½ pound Fresh Green Beans rinsed and thoroughly dried
- 2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil or oil spray
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Optional garnish
- Lemon Wedges
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F.
- Toss GREEN BEANS with OLIVE OIL and GARLIC to lightly coat.
- Place them in the air fryer basket or tray. Don’t overcrowd them.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure a uniform, tender-crisp texture.
- Add SALT and PEPPER to taste. Garnish and serve warm.
- To store, cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to five days.
Notes
- Trimming green beans is completely optional—keep them whole for a fun, fry-like experience.
- Ensure that the beans are dried thoroughly after washing because moisture turns into steam, which prevents them from getting crispy.
- Go light on the oil; a little goes a long way toward achieving perfect crispiness.
- Don't crowd the basket to allow hot air to circulate freely, ensuring even cooking.
- Air fryer temperatures can vary, so adjust cooking times as needed to achieve the perfect doneness.
