TOOLS AND SUPPLIES NEEDED:

SEASON AND TOSS: Toss with oil, garlic powder, pepper, onion powder, and salt.

PLACE IN AIR FRYER: Put seasoned green beans in the the air fryer basket.

COOK: Air fry at 370ºF for 7-8 minutes. Tossing once or twice to turn them during cooking.

REMOVE: Remove green beans from the air fryer when they are cooked through and crispy on the outside.

OPTIONAL: When green beans are done cooking, try tossing with ½ teaspoon of fresh lemon juice or some freshly grated parmesan cheese. 

STORAGE TIPS

Refrigerate: These roasted green beans taste best fresh right out of the air fryer. If you have any leftovers you can store them in an airtight container or a ziplock bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat: To reheat these roasted vegetables, place them on a microwave safe plate, cover them with a paper towel and put them into the microwave for 1-1 ½ minutes, depending on your machine.

Freeze: Although we do recommend eating air fryer green beans right when they are fresh, you can also freeze them in an airtight container or ziplock freezer bag for up to a month.

Defrosting: To defrost, put the frozen green beans on the counter until they reach room temperature and then pop them into the microwave until hot, about 1 -1 ½ minutes. The texture of defrosted and reheated green beans will be less crispy on the outside.
