- 1 tablespoon oil (use your favorite cooking oil)

- ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, toss green beans with oil, salt and pepper.

Taste and adjust seasonings as desired before serving.
Notes
*You can toss these green beans right in the basket of the air fryer, but I prefer to do it in a bowl so that the oil doesn’t drip through the rack before I have a chance to toss them.
*You can easily double this recipe to serve 4 people. If you are doing more than that, I would cook in multiple batches.
