This simple and flavorful recipe is made easier with the use of an air fryer. It’s light, savory, and packed with nutrients—perfect alongside any main course or as a wholesome plant-based option.

The green beans and mushrooms get slightly charred while the onions caramelize and crisp. It's a tasty combination of flavors and textures. The recipe is infinitely customizable with the addition of a number of topping options like bacon crumbles, dried cranberries, parmesan, chopped boiled eggs, nuts, herbs, or chili crisp.

Air Fryer Green Beans with Mushrooms

Step 1. Assemble the ingredients

• green beans
• sliced mushrooms
• sliced onion
• olive oil
• salt, pepper, and garlic powder (or homemade garlic pepper salt seasoning)

Step 2. Add the ingredients to a bowl and toss to combine.

Step 3. Add the green bean mixture to the air fryer (a basket-style air fryer is pictured here). Cook at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes, stirring at the halfway point. If you prefer more browning and char, cook in 2 batches.

• Tip: For easier clean-up, use a parchment paper liner in the air fryer.

SERVE hot or at room temperature. It's a yummy combination of flavors and textures.

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS: lemon juice, balsamic glaze, chopped nuts, parmesan cheese, dried cranberries, chopped fresh herbs, chili crisp, chopped boiled eggs

Green beans for breakfast? Yes! For a great way to add veggies and nutrients to breakfast, try a fried egg on top of these green beans. I like to drizzle on some chili crisp, too. YUM!

Leftovers can be kept refrigerated and enjoyed for several days.

Make it a Yummy day!
