The recipe in 15 seconds

Method

  1. Pat the green beans dry and toss with the olive oil and garlic powder.

  2. Air fry at 400°F in a single layer, not piled up, 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway. They are done when blistered with browned spots and tender-crisp.

  3. Meanwhile, stir the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated garlic and pepper flakes together in a large bowl.

  4. Toss the hot green beans in the sauce so the garlic softens, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Tips

  • Air fryers vary: oven-style models and smaller baskets may need 2 to 3 minutes more. Check early the first time.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free side, or skip the soy and toss with lemon and grated parmesan.
  • Serve with rice and air fryer salmon or chicken. Reheat leftovers at 375°F for 2 to 3 minutes.
