Then, add the coated green beans to your air fryer in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches if you have a basket air fryer.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh green beans
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- First, rinse and cut 1/4 inch from the ends of the green beans. Add them to a large mixing bowl.
- Next, add oil and stir them until they're covered with the oil. Adding the oil first allows for the cheese and seasonings to stick to the green beans. It also won't make the cheese clump with the oil.
- Then, add grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir until the green beans are well coated.
- Last, add the green beans in a single layer to your air fryer. Cook at 370F for about 10-12 minutes. It may take a couple of minutes longer to cook larger or longer green beans. NOTE: You may need to cook them in batches if you don't have an air fryer with racks.
