Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice, optional
- Lemon zest, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat dry thoroughly to help them crisp up in the air fryer.
- In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Place the green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until tender and slightly crisp.
- While the green beans cook, toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Transfer the cooked green beans to a serving dish. Sprinkle toasted almonds on top, add lemon juice and zest if using, and serve warm.
