Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer. Preheat to 380°F.
- Prep the green beans. Wash and dry the green beans well, then toss with avocado oil.
- Start air frying. Add the green beans to the air fryer basket and cook for 10–12 minutes total.
- Add the garlic. About halfway through cooking, shake the basket and add the minced garlic. Continue air frying until the beans are tender with lightly browned and blistered spots.
- Mix the sauce. While the green beans finish cooking, stir together the soy sauce and sesame oil.
- Finish. Transfer the green beans to a serving dish. Scoop out any toasted garlic from the bottom of the air fryer basket and add it on top.
- Season and serve. Drizzle with the soy sauce mixture, toss, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Dry the green beans well before air frying.
- A little overlap is fine, but avoid packing the basket too tightly.
- Add the garlic halfway through so it has time to toast without burning.
- Shake the basket halfway through for more even cooking.
- The beans are ready when they’re tender with a few browned, blistered spots.
- Add the soy sauce and sesame oil after cooking.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
