Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring Spoons
- Serving plate
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Start by rinsing the fresh green beans under cold water. Trim the ends by snapping them off or using a knife.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the trimmed green beans with 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Toss the beans until they are evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the seasoned green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Check the green beans for doneness after 8 minutes. They should be tender yet crisp. Cook a couple more minutes if you prefer them charred.
- Remove the green beans from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking.
- Fresh green beans yield the best results; avoid frozen beans.
- Experiment with seasonings like garlic powder or balsamic vinegar.
