Description

Crispy air fryer green beans elevate simple vegetables into a remarkable side dish. Parmesan cheese and garlic create irresistible flavor profiles for diners wanting healthier vegetable options. You’ll crave these addictive green beans with every bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340 g) fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
  • ½ tsp paprika (optional, for a slight smoky touch)
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for a cheesy finish)

Instructions

  1. Prep Beans: Rinse green beans under cool water, removing debris. Trim ends with sharp scissors for uniform edges.
  2. Dry and Season: Pat beans thoroughly with paper towels. Transfer to mixing bowl and sprinkle herbs and spices, tossing gently to coat evenly.
  3. Air Fry Setup: Arrange seasoned beans in a single layer within air fryer basket, ensuring no overcrowding for consistent cooking.
  4. Cooking Process: Set air fryer to 375°F. Roast for 6-8 minutes, midway through shaking basket to promote even browning and crisp texture.
  5. Finishing Touch: Verify beans have golden-brown edges and desired crispness. Remove carefully from basket and transfer to serving plate, allowing brief cooling before serving.

Notes

  • Dry Thoroughly: Pat green beans completely dry to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent steaming instead of roasting in the air fryer.
  • Layer Strategically: Spread green beans in a single, uncrowded layer to ensure even cooking and crisp texture throughout.
  • Seasoning Secret: Toss green beans with a light coating of olive oil before adding herbs to help spices adhere and enhance overall flavor profile.
  • Temperature Precision: Maintain air fryer temperature between 375-400°F for perfect golden-brown edges without burning delicate green beans.
