Air Fryer Garlic Green Beans Recipes

AIR FRYER GREEN BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Wash the green beans well. Trim both ends of the green beans. Keep them long or cut them into halves.
• Toss the green beans in a bowl with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until they are coated in the oil and seasonings.
• Lay the green beans in an even layer in the air fryer basket and top with the sliced garlic.
• Air fry the green beans at 370 F for 7 to 9 minutes. There's no need to turn them, but you can toss the basket if you wish. Serve warm.

AIR FRYER CHILI-GARLIC TOFU WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Drain the tofu, wrap each block in several layers of paper towel and set on a large plate. Place a heavy pan on top (cast-iron works great for this) to press excess liquid from the tofu; allow to rest for 15 minutes.
• Slice each tofu block into six 1/2-inch-thick slices. Drain the large plate of any excess liquid, wipe dry and place the tofu slices back on the plate. Put 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small bowl and use a pastry brush to coat both sides of the slices with the oil. Season both sides of the slices with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper.
• Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
• Lay the tofu slices flat in the basket of the air fryer and cook, flipping halfway through, until lightly golden and crisp, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F again.
• Toss the green beans in a large bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook the beans, tossing halfway through, until tender and blistered, about 10 minutes.
• While the beans cook, combine the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, mirin, brown sugar, chili-garlic paste, cornstarch, garlic and 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan and stir until the cornstarch is dissolved. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly reduced, thickened and shiny, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Transfer the beans to a large serving plate and shingle the tofu slices on top. Drizzle the sauce over the tofu and beans and garnish with the scallions.

AIR FRYER SPICY GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place green beans in a bowl. Whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a separate bowl and pour over green beans. Toss to coat and let marinate for 5 minutes.
• Place half the green beans in the air fryer basket. Cook 12 minutes, shaking basket halfway through cooking time. Repeat with remaining green beans.
