Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 pound Fresh Green Beans (washed, dried, and trimmed) Look for firm, bright green beans free from blemishes.
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil Helps spices cling and adds richness.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Provides savory depth.
  • 0.5 tsp Onion Powder Balances flavors.
  • 0.5 tsp Salt Adjust to taste.
  • 0.25 tsp Black Pepper (freshly cracked)
  • 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (optional) Adds a rich, nutty note.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and trim the green beans to ensure they are all about the same length. Pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
Seasoning
  1. In a medium bowl, toss the dry green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the seasoned green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  3. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  4. If using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the beans during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

Notes

For best results, trim green beans to a uniform size, avoid overcrowding the air fryer, and use fresh ingredients. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings.
