Description

A quick and easy 10-minute side dish featuring fresh green beans tossed in olive oil and spices, then air-fried until crispy and topped with melted parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and dried thoroughly
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Wash the green beans and trim off the woody ends. Pat them completely dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
Place the dried green beans in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well until every bean is lightly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
Add the green beans to the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Air fry for 6 minutes.
Open the basket, shake to redistribute the beans, and sprinkle the freshly grated parmesan evenly over the top.
Close the basket and air fry for another 2-3 minutes, watching closely until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the air fryer and let cool for 1 minute before serving immediately.

Notes

Ensure green beans are completely dry before cooking to prevent steaming. Use freshly grated parmesan rather than pre-grated cheese for better melting and texture. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary. Serve immediately for best crunch.
