- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for roasting the green beans evenly.
- Season Green Beans: Toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Air Fry: Cook the green beans in the air fryer for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even crisping and roasting.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Once cooked, sprinkle the green beans with grated Parmesan if desired, and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for a bright, fresh finish.
Notes
- Add red pepper flakes if you want to introduce some extra heat and spice.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook the green beans in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- Store any leftover green beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
