Why Air Fryer?
Making green beans is easy and mess-free. It can be cooked almost unsupervised. The air fryer version is crunchier than pan-cooked green beans.
Ingredients Needed to Make This-
Fresh or frozen green beans: Make sure you dry the frozen ones with a thick paper towel- defrosting the beans is not required. Tweak the ends from the fresh beans. However, I like to keep the very fresh ones. Paprika, Cayenne, or red chili powder: It depends on your capacity to tolerate heat. If you don’t like to add, you can skip it too. Minced Garlic- The flavor of the garlic makes it delicious. Salt Olive Oil- Any good quality oil will work here. However, I prefer to use olive oil.
How to Cook Them-
Coat green beans with olive oil thoroughly. Season them with minced garlic, paprika/cayenne/red chili powder, and salt. Place them in the air fryer basket after spraying the basket. Air fry them till they look crispy for your taste.
