Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) and prepare a mixing bowl.
Place the green beans in the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss gently to coat evenly, ensuring all beans are lightly coated.
300 g fresh green beans
Add salt and garlic powder to the beans, then toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
300 g fresh green beans
Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they aren’t overcrowded to allow for crisping.
Insert the basket into the air fryer and roast for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even crisping.
Check the beans: they should be tender with crispy, golden edges and a smoky aroma. Roast a few minutes longer if needed.
Remove the basket from the air fryer and transfer the green beans to a serving dish.
Optionally, squeeze fresh lemon or sprinkle grated parmesan over the beans for an extra zing.
