Ingredients

  

• 1 pound fresh green beans or haricots verts
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper or red pepper flakes
• 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese optional for serving
• Lemon wedges optional for serving

Instructions

 

• Rinse the green beans and pat VERY dry. Trim off the ends and halve any longer beans so that all of the pieces are roughly the same length.
• Place the green beans in a large mixing bowl. Top with the oil, salt, garlic powder (if using), and black pepper. Toss to thoroughly and evenly coat the beans with the oil and seasonings.
• Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Add half of the green beans in a single layer (it’s OK if they touch, but you don’t want the layer to be thick; for most air fryers, two batches will do it.)
• Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the green beans are crisp-tender and dark in spots (if you like your green beans with more bite, cook on the shorter end of the time; for more char but a slightly softer bean, cook them for the full 10 minutes). If desired, transfer to a sheet pan and place in a 200℉ oven to keep them warm while you cook the second batch. Repeat with the remaining green beans.

• Transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle generously with the Parmesan. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges squeezed over the top as desired.

  Notes

  • TO STORE: Refrigerate green beans in an airtight storage container for up to 4 days. 
  • TO REHEAT: Rewarm leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for about 5 minutes, tossing once halfway through. You can also rewarm beans in the microwave. 
  • TO FREEZE: Freeze leftovers in an airtight, freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
