Roasted Green Beans With Sun-dried Tomatoes And Sunflower Seeds
Bright, crisp-tender green beans are quickly roasted in the air fryer and transformed into a vibrant salad with umami-rich sun-dried tomatoes, fresh herbal basil, creamy goat cheese, and nutty roasted sunflower seeds. A simple dressing of lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil adds clean acidity and rounds out the flavors. This summery side dish bursts with textures and colors, perfectly complementing any main course.
