Ingredients
Scale
Green Beans
- 1 pound green beans, washed and trimmed
Seasoning Mixture
- 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 the Green Beans: Wash and trim the green beans, then pat them dry thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Seasonings: Add garlic, vegetable oil, sesame oil, Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and black pepper to the green beans. Toss well to ensure the beans are evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning mixture.
- Air Fry: Transfer the seasoned green beans into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 350°F for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to promote even browning. The beans should be tender but retain a slight crispness.
- Optional Roasting Step: For extra crispiness, spread the air-fried green beans evenly on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through. This will yield crisply browned, tender green beans.
Notes
- Make sure to pat green beans dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness during air frying.
- Shaking the air fryer basket halfway through cooking helps achieve even browning and cooking.
- The roasting step is optional but recommended for a crispier texture.
- Adjust black pepper and sauces according to your taste preference.
