These air fryer green beans are crispy, tender, garlicky, and lightly spiced with red pepper flakes and ginger. They take only ten minutes to make, which makes them a great weeknight side vegetable.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz Green beans
  • ½ tablespoon Olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • Pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon Ginger paste

Instructions

  • Wash the green beans and trim off ends if needed. I like to buy them in a bag pre-trimmed to avoid this haha.
  • Preheat the airfryer to 400 degrees.
  • Place the green beans in a bowl and add all of the ingredients. Toss to combine to really coat each green bean. Sometimes I’ll massage the ingredients in as well.

  • Add the green beans to the air fryer and cook at 400 for 7 minutes. Shake halfway through. The green beans should be tender but still have some crunchiness to them.

  • Serve, eat and enjoy!
