Notes
- Pat the green beans dry with a kitchen towel or paper towels before seasoning to remove excess moisture and help them crisp up.
- I cook the fresh green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow them to cook evenly. Cook them in batches if needed.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan over the green beans while they’re hot. This helps the cheese melt slightly and stick to the beans.
- To use frozen green beans, air fry at 380 degrees F for about 11 minutes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in a preheated air fryer at 350 degrees F for 3-5 minutes until they’re warmed through.
