Air Fryer Green Beans

an air fryer basket full of green beans with lemon slices.

Air Fryer Green Beans are a delicious, healthy side dish. They come out tender, yet crisp and flavorful in the air fryer. It's my favorite way to cook fresh green beans

Equipment

1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 pound fresh green beans cleaned and ends trimmed off

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees Fahrenheit.
Stir the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder together in a small bowl.
Add the green beans to a large bowl. Pour the olive oil mixture over the top of the green beans and toss until fully combined.
Add the green beans to the the air fryer basket in an even layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Notes

Preheat your air fryer. I like to preheat my air fryer for a few minutes before adding the food. This ensures that the proper temperature has been reached and that your air fryer green beans will cook up perfectly.
Shake the basket a few times. This will help to ensure even cooking and that all surfaces of your green beans get equally crispy.
Variations: this version uses a super simple seasoning blend, but feel free to cook your green beans with any other spices or blends you like.
How to store: Any leftover air fryer green beans can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
