Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. Dieter Debbie has mastered air fried veggies on ZReduction, and shared this with the Plan Z Facebook group. It’s simple, and delicious and can be ready in a jiffy. We’re posting it here for everyone to enjoy. Thank you, Debbie!

Servings: Serves 2

Ingredients:

  • About 1 lb of fresh green beans, but you don’t have to be that technical. You can use approx 1 handful (or 8 oz) per person. Since this recipe is for two people, I’m using about 1 lb of green beans, or 2 generous handfuls.
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (if you want a stronger garlic flavor, use 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • olive oil spray

Instructions:

Wash and trim your green beans. Put them in a large bowl and toss them with sea salt, pepper and garlic powder. Then lay them in your air fryer basket (or on an air fryer tray) and spray them with olive oil. If you don’t have olive oil spray, just add a little oil in the bowl when you’re tossing them in seasonings.

At this point, they should look slightly shimmery from the olive oil spray. That’s a good thing. You don’t want them to be too dry.

Stick them in the air fryer and air fry at 350° for 8-10 minutes.

After they’ve been cooking for 5 minutes, stir them around and check for doneness.

If you like your green beans crisp-tender, cook 2-3 minutes more. If you like them softer, cook for another 5 minutes.

Enjoy!

Roasted Prime Rib

When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!

Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach

The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Cranberry Royale (EASY)

This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.

Chive Butter Biscuits

This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
