Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- Optional: lemon zest or red pepper flakes for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, toss green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Add parmesan cheese and toss again to coat.
- Arrange green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until beans are crisp-tender and edges are golden.
- Sprinkle with extra parmesan or lemon zest if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, cook an additional 1–2 minutes, or cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cut thicker green beans in half lengthwise if very long for even cooking.
- Use grated parmesan or a mix of parmesan and Pecorino for deeper flavor.
- This recipe is gluten-free and vegetarian; adjust salt to taste if needed.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute with a dairy-free parmesan alternative.
