Perfect Air Fryer Green Beans

Perfect Air Fryer Green Beans

17 min

Air fryer green beans are crispy on the outside, and juicy and tender on the inside. Savory and yet subtly sweet. This perfect side dish is healthy and incredibly easy to make––just 10 minutes in the air fryer.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans (tips removed)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2-1 tsp sea salt
  • Lemon for garnish
  • Black pepper for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 375°.

  2. 2

    Toss the green beans in olive oil and spices, then transfer to the air fryer basket. Spread them as evenly as possible into the basket (you may need to do batches if you have a small air fryer). Air fry for 10 minutes, adding 2 more minutes at the end if you want them softer.

  3. 3

    Garnish with a squeeze of lemon juice, lemon zest, and a sprinkle of freshly black pepper.

  4. 4

    Preheat an oven to 375° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
