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
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes for heat
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Wash and thoroughly dry your green beans. Trim the ends—this ensures even cooking and perfect texture.
  2. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Add red pepper flakes if using for extra kick.
  3. Toss the green beans in the seasoning mixture until every bean is lightly coated. The oil helps create that perfect crispy exterior.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 2 minutes if your model requires preheating.
  5. Place green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding—work in batches if necessary for best results.
  6. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. Beans should be crispy with slight charring on edges.
  7. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle over hot beans immediately after cooking so it melts slightly.
  8. Enjoy your crispy garlic green beans while they're hot and perfectly crunchy!

Notes

Dry beans thoroughly for maximum crispiness, don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, shake vigorously halfway through cooking, use fresh minced garlic for better flavor, and maintain 380°F temperature for optimal results.
