How To Make The Best Air Fryer Green Beans

The prep time for this recipe is about 5 minutes. First, wash and dry them. Cut the tips off and put them in a large bowl. To flavor the beans, drizzle on olive oil and lemon juice, sprinkle on garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese, then toss to coat.
Add the beans in a single layer to the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Set the temperature to 370 degrees and cook for 5 minutes. Shake the basket, then continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the beans are crispy and tender on the inside. The total time is 10 minutes.
When the beans have finished cooking, remove them to a serving plate and season to taste with more salt and pepper. I also give a nice squeeze of fresh lemon juice and more Parmesan cheese.

If you want to change things up a bit, add your favorite spices, like chili powder or red pepper flakes, for a bit of heat. Fresh lemon zest is also a great addition.

How To Store Leftovers

Place any leftover green beans in an airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for up to three days.
