These Air Fryer Garlic Roasted Green Beans are crispy, tender, and bursting with flavor. They’re a quick and healthy side dish that pairs perfectly with any main course or can be enjoyed as a simple snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: ½ tsp red pepper flakes or lemon zest for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Green Beans:
    • Wash and dry the green beans thoroughly. Trim the ends if needed.
  2. Season the Green Beans:
    • In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. If desired, add red pepper flakes or lemon zest for a flavor boost.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer (Optional):
    • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Cook the Green Beans:
    • Place the seasoned green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the beans are tender and slightly crisp.
  5. Serve:
    • Remove the green beans from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, toasted almonds, or a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.

Notes

  • For an even roast, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed.
  • Use haricot verts (thin French green beans) for a more delicate texture and shorter cooking time.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness.
