Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Trim the Green Beans: Trim off and discard the stem ends of the green beans to prepare them for cooking.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the optimal cooking temperature.
- Season the Green Beans: Place the trimmed green beans in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat all the beans evenly.
- Air Fry: Spread the green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 370°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking or tossing halfway through to ensure even cooking. Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred crispness—less time for crisper beans, more time for softer beans.
- Serve: Season with additional salt and pepper if desired, then serve immediately as a delicious, healthy side dish.
