Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Large bowl
- Measuring Spoons
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans washed and trimmed
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the green beans, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, and pepper. Toss until the green beans are evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Place the green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
- After 8-10 minutes, sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the green beans. Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the Parmesan is melted and the green beans are crispy.
- Remove the green beans from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Notes
Cooking Notes
Preheating the air fryer helps the green beans cook more evenly and develop better texture. Adding the Parmesan near the end prevents it from overcooking before the beans are crisp.
Tips for Best Results:
- Dry the green beans well before tossing with oil.
- Arrange the beans in a single layer for even crisping.
- Shake the basket halfway through cooking.
- Add the Parmesan during the last few minutes of cooking.
