Air Fryer Green Beans and Potatoes
Description
Crispy air fryer green beans and potatoes made in one basket. Staggering the cook time gives the potatoes golden edges and keeps the green beans tender-crisp — ready in about 25 minutes with no boiling
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds baby gold or red potatoes, cut into ¾-inch pieces
- 12 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
- 1 teaspoon onion powder, divided
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, divided (optional)
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- Cut the potatoes into even ¾-inch pieces and trim the green beans. Pat both completely dry.
- In one bowl, toss the potatoes with 1½ tablespoons olive oil and about two-thirds of the seasonings. In a separate bowl, toss the green beans with the remaining oil and seasonings.
- Add the potatoes to the basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking at the 5-minute mark.
- Add the green beans to the basket and shake to combine. Cook for another 10–12 minutes, shaking every 4 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden and the green beans are blistered but still snappy.
- Season to taste and serve immediately.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
- Cook in two batches if your air fryer is smaller than 5 quarts.
- For frozen green beans, add them unthawed after the potatoes have cooked 8 minutes.
