Charred Green Beans

I cook both broccoli and green beans almost exclusively in the air fryer now. It’s so easy and the results are so good.

Instead of olive oil and garlic powder, both are good with sesame oil, soy sauce and a little ginger, too.

Yield: 6 side servings

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 8–10 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

 Wash the green beans and dry them very thoroughly.

Place in a bowl and toss with the oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

 Arrange the beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary rather than overcrowding them.

Air fry at 380°F for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

 Remove when the beans are tender.
