Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450g) fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5g) kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon (0.75g) black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5g) garlic powder (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Rinse and trim the green beans. Pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Spread the green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding.
  5. Air fry for 8 minutes.
  6. Remove the basket and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the green beans.
  7. Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for another 2-4 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and the parmesan is melted and slightly golden brown. Watch carefully to avoid burning the cheese.
  8. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.
