Equipment

- large mixing bowl
- large spoon
- long tongs
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh trimmed green beans
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Remove green beans from packaging. Wash and pat dry if needed. Remove any stems if needed as well. Place beans into large bowl.
- Drizzle green beans with olive oil then season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Use a large spoon to gently stir until well combined.
- This is optional, but I like to heat up my air fryer before cooking vegetables. Preheat at 380 degrees F. for 4-5 minutes.
- Once green beans have been seasoned, transfer to air fryer basket.
- Cook green beans at 380 degrees F. for 8 minutes. Halfway through, remove the basket, shake the green beans. When done, remove green beans and transfer to a serving plate. Serve warm.

Notes
- Look for the bags of green beans that are pre-washed and trimmed. Makes for easy prep!
- Feel free to mix up your seasonings. If you don't like red pepper flakes, try a sprinkle of paprika instead. Fresh lemon juice is also delicious when serving.
- Want to get a little fancy? Add a small handful of sliced almonds over top before serving.
