Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat green beans dry with a paper towel. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Spread beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Shake the basket halfway through so beans cook evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, melt butter in a small skillet over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    When beans are tender and light golden, remove from air fryer and transfer to a bowl.

  6. Step 6

    Pour garlic butter over the beans and toss gently to coat.

  7. Step 7

    Add Parmesan, toss again, and taste. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.
