Tips:

  • Trim and Clean the Beans: Trim the ends of the green beans and remove any strings. Rinse the beans thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Coat the Beans with Oil: Toss the green beans with a small amount of oil to help them crisp up in the air fryer. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or any other high-heat cooking oil.
  • Season the Beans: Sprinkle the green beans with your desired seasonings. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent the beans from sticking. This will also make cleanup easier.
  • Cook the Beans in Batches: If you have a lot of green beans to cook, cook them in batches to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Shake the Basket: Shake the air fryer basket halfway through the cooking process to ensure that the beans cook evenly.

Conclusion:

Air-fried green beans are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a balanced meal. They are an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Air frying is a great way to cook green beans because it allows them to retain their nutrients while still achieving a crispy texture.
