Equipment
- Skillet
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen green beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (approximately 193°C). This ensures that the cooking temperature is just right for achieving that perfect crispiness.
- In a bowl, toss the frozen green beans with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the beans are evenly coated; this will help them crisp up beautifully in the air fryer.
- Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding, as this can lead to uneven cooking. You want each bean to have space to cook properly.
- Cook for 10 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, shake the basket gently to promote even cooking. This is where the magic happens; the beans will start to turn a lovely golden brown!
- After 10 minutes, check the beans for doneness. They should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If they need a bit more time, feel free to cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve immediately while hot. These Air Fryer Frozen Green Beans are best enjoyed straight out of the fryer, ensuring that you capture their delightful crunch.
Notes
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
- Freezing: If you have leftovers, you can freeze them, but they may lose some crispiness upon thawing.
- Pairing: These green beans pair wonderfully with grilled chicken, steak, or fish, making them a versatile side dish.
