Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb french style thin green beans
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 400℉.
  • Place green beans in a bowl and add olive oil (I use 2 tablespoons, but if you'd like to use less, just make sure you have enough to have them coated.)
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. 
  • Place in air fryer and spread beans out into an even layer.
  • All air fryers are different, but I suggest cooking for 6-8 minutes for soft green beans that get browned and slightly crisp on the outside, and 8-10 for a crisper bite. Give them a shake about half way through cooking and that's a good time to check. 

Notes

  • These beans are best made fresh! If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 2-3 days for best results.
  • Feel free to experiment with adding other seasonings like seasoning salt, onion, or garlic.
