Ingredients
Scale
Green Beans
- 1 pound green beans, washed and trimmed
Seasoning Mix
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare and Season: Wash and trim the green beans, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them in a large mixing bowl and add all remaining ingredients. Toss well to evenly coat the beans in the seasoning mixture.
- Air Fry the Green Beans: Transfer the green beans into the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F for 10 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Optional Roasting Step: For an extra crispy finish, spread the green beans evenly on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they’re crisp, tender, and lightly browned.
Notes
- Tossing the beans halfway through cooking promotes even browning and crispness.
- Pat green beans dry before seasoning to help the oil and spices stick better.
- The additional roasting step is optional but adds extra crispness for those who prefer it.
- Adjust black pepper to taste based on your spice preference.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
