How to make Air Fryer Green Beans
Firstly, I rinsed the green beans well in a colander. Then, with the help of a kitchen towel, I gently pat dry them so as to remove extra moisture from the beans.
Secondly, in a bowl, I combined together green beans, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Next, with my wet hands, I mixed them well so as to coat the seasonings to all the strands of the green beans.
Thereafter, I spooned it out in the air fryer basket and spread them so that they are in single layer.
Next, I topped them with sliced almonds and attached the basket to the main air fryer.
Afterwards, I turned it on at 380 degree for 12 minutes. Once done, I turned it off and placed them in the serving dish with the help of tongs.
These tasted amazing and so crispy and crunchy. I was happy that I can now include a variety of green vegetables in my family’s diet. They love this style of green beans in air fryer.
Variations:
- You may top them with vegan parmesan cheese too.
- To make it simpler you may just toss green beans with salt and pepper and air fry. Laster garnish with vegan cheese or just enjoy it as is.
- You may drizzle 1-2 tsp olive oil over them so as to mix all the ingredients together.
Expert tips:
