Air Fryer Green Beans

Whoever invented the air fryer is a genius. Even though the temperature has dropped, I still don't like leaving my oven on for long periods of time. The air fryer gets food crisper while requiring less fat. It's a win win! These greens beans are crispy, spicy, and super easy to make. They may not be the prettiest, but I promise they're yummy!

Ingredients and tools needed:

• About 1/2 lb of green beans washed and trimmed

• 1-2 tsp of avocado oil

• 1 tsp cajun seasoning

• 1/2 tsp salt

• A pinch of red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)

• An air fryer

How to:

1. Mix beans, oil, and seasoning in a bowl until well coated then place in your air fryer.

2. Cook at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes*, tossing halfway through.

These would be so good with a dipping sauce. Make some homemade mayo (recipe found here), add some coconut aminos and hot sauce and you'll have a delicious sauce!

*Cooking time will vary depending on your fryer, so keep a check on them.
