1 handful of fresh green beans
1 to 2 pinches of salt
1 to 2 pinches of pepper
1 to 2 pinches of garlic powder
1 tbsp or so of parmesan cheese
Cooking spray or oil (avocado, olive, etc.)
Prep and Season Green Beans:
Begin by rinsing and drying the fresh green beans. Then cut off the woody stems. While this step is optional, I always do it, they just aren't that appetizing.
Place the green beans in a container and then spray them with a bit of cooking spray (avocado oil, olive oil, etc.).
Add a few pinches of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Use clean hands or tongs to toss them until they’re evenly coated with the seasonings.
Cook Green Beans:
Place the seasoned green beans in your air fryer basket. Arrange them so that they’re fairly flat.
Cook them in the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400F/205C.
Once the time is up, sprinkle on the parmesan cheese (optional). Replace the basket and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Remove the basket and use tongs to retrieve the green beans and place them on a plate. Serve warm.
NOTE: Each seasoning is optional and you can add something else like paprika, chili powder, etc. if you like.
