Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. While it's heating, pat the green beans dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add the green beans and toss until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking and crispiness. You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size.
  4. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. The green beans should be tender-crisp with slightly charred edges when done.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately while hot and crispy!

Notes

Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - give green beans space to breathe. Pat green beans completely dry before seasoning for maximum crispiness. Customize seasonings with red pepper flakes, lemon zest, or Italian seasoning.
