How To Make Air Fryer Green Beans with Mushrooms and Onion

Step One: Clean the green beans by cutting off the ends and slicing the mushrooms. Set aside. In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Step Two: In a large mixing bowl, toss the green beans and mushrooms with the melted butter, ensuring they are well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.

Step Three: Place the buttered vegetables into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set cook time for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until the green beans are tender and the mushrooms are cooked through. Once the vegetables are done, sprinkle the crispy fried onions on top for an added crunch and serve immediately.

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh green beans and mushrooms yield the best texture and flavor. For extra crispness, ensure the green beans are dry before cooking.

• Don’t Overcrowd the Air Fryer Basket: For even cooking, make sure the ingredients are spread out in a single layer without overcrowding.
• Check for Crispness: If you want the green beans or onions extra crispy, increase the cooking time by a few minutes, but be sure to check regularly.
• Add Cheese: For an extra indulgent twist, sprinkle some parmesan cheese over the green beans in the last few minutes of cooking.
