Step 1
Pat green beans dry with a paper towel. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Spread beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Shake the basket halfway through so beans cook evenly.
Step 4
Meanwhile, melt butter in a small skillet over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
When beans are tender and light golden, remove from air fryer and transfer to a bowl.
Step 6
Pour garlic butter over the beans and toss gently to coat.
Step 7
Add Parmesan, toss again, and taste. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Step 8
Serve hot.
