Air Fryer Parmesan Green Beans offer a satisfying, crunchy exterior with a tender inside, all while using minimal oil. The hot air circulates, helping to brown the beans evenly, and the Parmesan adds a savory, toasted flavor that you’ll love in every bite.
Start with fresh green beans, trim the ends, and pat them dry. Toss the beans with a light coating of oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and any optional garlic you want to include.
Put the seasoned beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer, allowing them room to breathe. Cook until the edges are browned, and the beans feel tender when pierced.
Once they’re done, give them a bright squeeze of lemon juice and sprinkle on some more Parmesan while they’re hot. Serve them immediately to enjoy the best of their crispy exterior and tender interior.
Notes
Tip: Make sure to dry your green beans well after washing and don’t overcrowd the basket to prevent sogginess.
