Ingredients
Scale
Green Beans
- 1 pound (450 grams) fresh green beans, trimmed
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
Cheese
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the green beans thoroughly under cold water and trim off the ends to ensure they are clean and ready for cooking.
- Dry: Pat the green beans dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness when air frying.
- Season: In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt. Toss well to evenly coat all the beans.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned green beans and toss again to distribute the cheese evenly over the beans.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and crisping.
- Air Fry: Place the seasoned green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Serve: Once the green beans are crispy and cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and transfer to a serving platter. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can adjust the seasoning amounts to taste, especially the salt and pepper.
- Make sure the green beans are in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow even air circulation and crisping.
- Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps prevent burning and promotes even browning.
- For extra crispiness, you can add a light sprinkle of additional Parmesan cheese right before serving.
- These green beans are best enjoyed fresh as they may lose crispness if stored for too long.
