Ingredients
  

INGREDIENTS:

  • 300 grams green beans
  • 1 tablespoon softened unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder optional
  • chopped fresh parsley for garnishing

BLANCH:

  • water for boiling
  • ice water

Instructions
 

  • Thoroughly wash fresh green beans with cold running water.
  • Add green beans to boiling water for 1 minute and immediately submerge boiled green beans in ice-cold water to cool down.
  • Once the blanched green beans have cooled down, pat dry with paper towels and transfer to a plate.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and coat the blanched green beans.
  • Season blanched green beans with garlic, cayenne powder (if using), salt, and ground black pepper.
  • Add softened butter and lather each seasoned green bean using kitchen tongs.
  • Gently transfer seasoned green beans onto the Air Fryer tray and slowly insert the tray into the middle cooking chamber, near the rotisserie catch , if using an Air Fryer Oven.
  • If using an Air Fryer basket, simply place the seasoned green beans in the inner basket.
  • Air fry green beans for 8 minutes or until crisp tender, turning once halfway through. Add 1 to 2 minutes if softer green beans are preferred.

Notes

  • Use quality ingredients from the green beans, to unsalted butter, and the seasonings.
  • Remove spoiled green beans and discard those with dark spots.
  • The recipe uses minimal salt. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt if saltier green beans are preferred.
