Description
If there’s one kitchen gadget that’s completely changed the game, it’s the air fryer. And when it comes to side dishes that are quick, crispy, and bursting with flavor, these Air Fryer Green Beans are an absolute winner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Start by washing and trimming the ends off the green beans. Pat them dry completely—this helps them crisp up better in the air fryer.
In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. If you want an extra punch of flavor, add some grated Parmesan cheese to the mix.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spread the green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 7-9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once they’re golden and crispy at the edges, remove them from the air fryer and squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the top. Serve hot and enjoy!
