These air fryer green beans are tender, caramelized, and ready in 10 minutes! I love this recipe as a weeknight side dish—it pairs well with practically any main. Find some of my go-to serving suggestions in the blog post above.

Ingredients

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, for squeezing

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
In a large bowl, toss the green beans with the olive oil, salt, and several grinds of pepper.
Working in batches if necessary, arrange the green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 9 to 11 minutes, or until tender and browned in places. Repeat as necessary with the remaining green beans.
Season to taste, squeeze with lemon juice, and serve.
