Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb green beans washed and trimmed
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 3 slices bacon

Instructions

  • Wash and trim the green beans if needed. Cut any longer green beans in half and place in a large bowl.
  • Add olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to the green beans. Toss to combine.
  • Add the green beans to the air fryer basket.
  • Slice each strip of bacon into chunks. Place the bacon pieces on top of the green beans.
  • Air fry for 10-12 minutes at 380 degrees F.
  • Plate and enjoy.

Notes

  • Make sure your bacon is cooked through! If needed, cook a couple of minutes longer until bacon is cooked through.
  • If using really thick bacon, you may need to add a couple of additional minutes of cook time. If using thin bacon, you may need to lessen the cooking time. Start checking at the 7-8 minute mark.
  • I usually do not toss the green beans while cooking, however you can toss halfway through if desired.
  • All air fryers cook differently. Adjust cooking time if needed.
