Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the trimmed green beans with olive oil. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Add minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to the bowl. Toss vigorously to ensure every bean is well seasoned.
  4. Arrange the green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding – you may need to cook in batches for best results.
  5. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking time. Cook until beans are crispy and slightly browned at the edges.
  6. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with optional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately while hot and crispy!

Notes

Dry green beans thoroughly before seasoning for maximum crispiness. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - cook in batches if needed. Shake vigorously halfway through cooking for even browning. Use fresh minced garlic for best flavor. 380°F is the ideal temperature to crisp without burning garlic.
