Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil until evenly coated.
  3. Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the beans. Toss again to distribute seasonings evenly.
  4. Place the seasoned green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for best crispiness.
  5. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking time.
  6. Check for desired crispiness - cook 1-2 minutes longer if needed.
  7. If using parmesan, sprinkle over hot beans immediately after cooking.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and crispy!

Notes

For the crispiest results, make sure your green beans are completely dry before tossing with oil. Pat them dry with paper towels if they've been washed recently. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - cook in batches if necessary to ensure proper air circulation. The shaking step is crucial for even cooking and browning.
