Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (195 degrees C).
-
Place green beans, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and toss to coat. Using tongs, place green beans into the air fryer basket without overcrowding, reserving any remaining liquid in the bowl. You may need to work in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
-
Cook green beans until crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. When green beans are done, return to the bowl and toss with the lemon zest. Serve with additional lemon wedges.
