Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the green beans. Rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the ends of the green beans to ensure they are clean and ready for cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the trimmed green beans with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss the green beans to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil.
- Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the bowl along with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure that the seasoning is distributed evenly over the green beans.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture on the green beans.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, place the seasoned green beans in the air fryer basket. Make sure to spread them out in a single layer for even cooking.
- Cook the green beans in the air fryer for 10 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure that the beans cook evenly and achieve a nice roast.
- After 10 minutes, check the green beans for doneness. They should be tender and slightly crispy. If you prefer them a bit more roasted, you can cook them for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the green beans from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish.
- Serve the air fryer roasted green beans warm, and enjoy them as a delicious side dish for your meal.
Tips
- • Ensure your green beans are completely dry before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - a single layer is key to even roasting • Shake the basket halfway through cooking to guarantee uniform browning • Experiment with additional seasonings like parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or herbs de Provence • For extra crunch, try adding some sliced almonds in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking • If your green beans are particularly thick, you might want to add an extra 1-2 minutes to the cooking time • Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature
