Air Fryer Green Beans with Garlic Butter Sauce -- Indulge in a burst of vibrant flavors with our Green Beans with Garlic Butter Sauce recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Trim the ends of the fresh green beans and wash them thoroughly. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for a few minutes to ensure it's hot and ready for cooking.
- In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil until evenly coated. This helps to ensure that the beans crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
- Place the coated green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook them at 380°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The green beans should be tender and slightly charred around the edges.
- While the green beans are cooking, prepare the garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Once the green beans are done cooking, transfer them to a serving bowl and pour the garlic butter sauce over them. Toss gently to coat the green beans evenly with the sauce.
- Transfer the Green Beans with Garlic Butter Sauce to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
