Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ½ lb green beans trimmed and washed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ tsp+ garlic salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 oz mushrooms- used 6 small crimini or button cut into ¼

Instructions
 

  • Trim the green beans if you purchased untrimmed beans, snap them in half if they're really long. 
  • Preheat your air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 380F.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the trimmed green beans, cut mushrooms, avocado oil, garlic salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the seasoned green beans and mushrooms in the air fryer basket. Try to space them evenly. It is OK if they overlap slightly. 
  • You'll be cooking the air fryer green bean recipe for 10-11 minutes total, but you do need to check on them after 5 minutes to stir.
  • After stirring, keep an eye on the green beans to ensure they don't burn. They are typically done in 10-11 minutes, however, you can pull them as early as 8 minutes if you prefer them more al dente.
  • ***COOKING TIP: If you're making air fryer green beans by themselves and not adding in mushrooms, we found that they take LESS time to cook and only needed 8-9 minutes of cook time.
  • Top with your favorite garnishes and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Buy pretrimmed and washed green beans to make things even quicker
  • Adding the mushrooms does add 2-4 minutes of cook time compared to when we cooked a batch of green beans on their own due to the added moisture content of the veggies.
  • If you are a garlic lover (like we are) sprinkle additional garlic salt just before serving.
  • We cooked our air-fried green beans in a basket-style fryer. In a large oven style fryer like our Omni Plus, the veggies may cook quicker due to more space. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
  • Top with bacon crumbles, parmesan cheese, feta cheese, additional garlic salt, or chives just before serving.
