CRISPY BAKED GREEN BEANS

FAST, VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE

This classic side dish is made using fresh green beans sprinkled with olive oil, granulated garlic, salt, and lemon pepper. The green beans are roasted in the air fryer for just 10 minutes before they are ready to serve. Once they’re cooked, you can toss them with a little butter and some bacon bits for added flavor if the dish doesn’t need to be vegan.
