Equipment

  • Air-fryer (or oven)
  • Bowl
  • Tin foil

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g green beans
  • 2-3 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • rd cup vacuum packed cooked chestnuts
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable stock
  • Olive or coconut oil to taste
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Trim and thoroughly wash your green beans and add to a bowl.
  • Chop your chestnuts into about 4-6 pieces per chestnut and toss in with your beans.
    Vacuum packed. pre-cooked chestnuts work best fort his as they have more flavour and won't dry out so easily.
  • Drizzle your beans and chestnuts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, your crushed garlic and a couple of tablespoons of vegetable stock. Add a little seasoning to taste, then mix together.
  • On one of your air-fryers wire tray (you may need two trays, depending on the size of your fryer) cover with tin foil. You don't need to fold your foil over the edges, but you do need to slightly turn it up at the edges to stop any fluids from dripping out.
  • Now carefully put your bean mix onto the tin foil and spread out as much as possible so the beans aren't directly on top of each other. Be sure to add the juices too!
  • Bake in your air-fryer on a high shelf at 185 C for roughly 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, squeeze your lemon until you have around 1 tablespoon of juice.
  • Add your lemon juice AFTER you have removed your beans from air-fryer. o  not cook the lemon juice on the beans as it will go bitter. Always add fresh lemon juice at the end of cooking.
  • Serve immediately!
