Begin by rinsing and drying the fresh green beans. Then cut off the woody stems. While this step is optional, I always do it, they just aren't that appetizing.

You may also trim off the other pointy end if you like, but I don't do that, I don't mind it.

Place the green beans in a container and then spray it with a bit of cooking spray (avocado oil, olive oil, etc.).

Then add a few pinches of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Use clean hands or tongs and turn them until evenly coated with the seasonings.

NOTE: Each seasoning is optional and you can add something else like paprika, chili powder, etc. if you like.

Cook Those Green Beans

Place those seasoned green beans in your air fryer basket. Arrange them so they are fairly flat. Then put the basket inside the air fryer and set the temp to 400F/205C.

Turn it on for 5 minutes.

Once the time is up pull the basket out and then sprinkle on the parmesan cheese (optional). Replace the basket and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove the basket and use tongs to retrieve the green beans and place them on a plate. Serve warm.

Enjoy!
