Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) fresh green beans
- 1-2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- ½ tsp sea salt , plus more to taste
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan (optional)
- salt and pepper to season when serving
Instructions
- Wash the green beans and trim the stems. Pat them dry so they roast, not steam — help encourage the crispiness!1 lb (450g) fresh green beans
- Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, zest and minced garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl, add the trimmed green beans and mix well so the beans are completely covered.1-2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tsp lemon zest, 2 cloves garlic, ½ tsp sea salt, ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Add the green beans in a single layer to the air fryer (if load the basket with a lot of beans they will cook a bit softer – which you may prefer).
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket a couple of times, until the beans are crisp yet tender and a little bit charred. The cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer – cook in batches if needed.
- Taste and add seasoning if needed. Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and sprinkle with grated parmesan. Serve immediately.2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan, salt and pepper

Notes
Storing and reheating
Let the green beans cool before storing them in an airtight container. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes to re-crisp. Adjust your cooking time depending on your crispy/tender preference. You can also re-heat them in your microwave, but they will definitely lose their crunch.
