How To Make Air Fryer Green Beans

Before you start cooking your green beans, take a moment to properly clean them to get rid of any dirt or pesticide residue left over. Then place the green beans in a bowl with cool water to fully rinse them.

Once they are fully clean, pat the green beans dry and trim the end off of each bean strand.

Toss them with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. If you want to season them up a little more, add a dash of cayenne pepper and garlic powder. 

Place prepped green beans into the air fryer basket and cook at 400F for 10 minutes. Make sure to shake the basket halfway through so that the green beans cook evenly throughout.
