Air Fryer Green Beans  

I'm obsessed with these tender-crisp Air Fryer Green Beans topped with golden Parmesan breadcrumbs. Delicious and less than 15 minutes to make.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound green beans (rinsed, trimmed and patted dry)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
  • ¼ teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 small garlic cloves (minced or pressed through a garlic press)
  • 2 ½ tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese
  • 1 ½ tablespoon seasoned breadcrumbs (such as 4C or gluten-free crumbs)
  • ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, combine the green beans, 2 teaspoons olive oil and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt.  Toss to evenly coat.
  2. Add the green beans to the air fryer basket and air fry 375F 6 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until crisp tender.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic, ⅛ teaspoon salt, paprika, parsley, black pepper and remaining 1 teaspoon oil and mix well.  Open the air fryer basket and evenly spread over the green beans, then spritz with olive oil spray. Air fry 375F for 2 minutes until golden.
  4. Transfer beans to a serving platter and serve immediately.

Notes

  • No air fryer? No problem! Roast them on a sheet pan 425F 15 minutes, stirring halfway then add crumbs and cook 2 to 3 minutes.
