Ingredients: Full recipe in the recipe card at end of post
- Olive Oil - Used to lightly coat the green beans before air frying.
- Green Beans - Use fresh green beans that have been washed, dried, and woody ends trimmed off. The packaged green beans from the produce section of the grocery store work great as well and usually come cleaned, trimmed and ready to cook.
- Parmesan Cheese - I used grated Parmesan cheese. I love how it adds a crispy and delicious coating to the green beans.
- Garlic Powder
- Salt and Pepper
Air Fryer Instructions:
1. To a medium bowl, add the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until well blended.
2. Add the green beans to the bowl and toss until well coated.
3. Sprinkle the green beans with the Parmesan cheese and gently toss until the greens bean are well coated.
4. Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Once ready, add the green beans to the air fryer in an even layer (if you have any parmesan left over in the bowl, you can sprinkle it on top of the green beans).
6. Air fry the green beans for 10 to 12 minutes until the parmesan is golden and green beans are tender. Gently shake the air fryer basket halfway through for even cooking.
Storage And Reheating Instructions:
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit and heat for 1-3 minutes until crispy.
Pro Tips:
- Be sure to trim the woody ends from the green beans before cooking. You will also want to make sure the green beans are completely dry before cooking.
- The air fryer I used was the Instant Vortex Plus 6 quart. Since all air fryers vary, you may need to adjust the cook time slightly based on the air fryer you are using.
