    The flavor of these Air Fryer Green Beans with lemon and garlic is so delicious. I love the little bit of a crispy texture on the outside the air fryer creates but the green beans are still tender. I like even more that these green beans in the air fryer take less than 10 minutes to cook.

    How to Air Fry Green Beans

    1. Start by trimming the end off the green beans. I usually just pinch the woody end off with my fingers. Scissors can also be used to trim the green beans.

    2. Place green beans in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and add all of the spices. Toss with tongs until the green beans are evenly coated.

    3. Place the seasoned green beans in the air fryer basket. It is important to make that the green beans are in a single layer like in the photo and not a pile. Depending on the size of you air fryer you may have to cook in batches.

    4. Air fry the green beans at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 7- 8 minutes cooking time or until your preferred doneness.

    Tips for Air Frying Green Beans

    AirFry in a Single Layer – Place green beans in airfryer basket in a single layer to ensure proper airflow to get that delicious crispy tender texture.

    Cook in Batches – It is better to cook the green beans in multiple batches than to pile green beans into the basket. This will ensure better results and exterior to the green beans.

    Sprinkle with Chicken Bullion Powder – Chicken bullion powder is also great as a seasoning in a small amount on the green beans. This adds a fantastic flavor.

    Eat immediately after cooking – These green beans are best enjoyed while they are hot. The little crispiness on the exterior is better when eaten right away.

    Variations

    • Spicy – add some red chili pepper flakes to add a kick of heat.
    • Parmesan Cheese – Sprinkle with fresh shredded parmesan for a tasty change.
    • Sesame Oil – add a drizzle of sesame oil to change up the flavor for something else delicious.
