Description
A quick and easy recipe for making crispy green beans coated in garlic and Parmesan cheese using an air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the green beans. Trim off the stem ends.
- Place the trimmed green beans in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss again until the beans are seasoned.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place the seasoned green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 8 minutes. Shake the basket well.
- Continue to air fry for another 4 to 6 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp and slightly blistered.
- Remove the basket from the air fryer. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning (if using) over the hot beans. Toss quickly to melt the cheese slightly and coat the beans.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Drying the beans well before oiling helps them crisp up better in the air fryer.
- Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches for the best texture.
- Adjust the cooking time based on your air fryer model and how crisp you prefer your beans.
