Crisp Lemon Air-Fried Green Beans
  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (195 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Combine green beans, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and toss to coat. Using tongs, transfer the green beans to the air fryer basket without overcrowding, keeping any leftover liquid in the bowl. You may need to cook in batches, depending on your air fryer’s size.

  3. 3

    Air-fry the green beans until crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. When finished, return the green beans to the bowl and toss with the lemon zest. Serve with extra lemon wedges.
