Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed

2 tbsp olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for spice)

1 tbsp lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Beans: Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel to ensure they get crispy in the air fryer.

    Season the Beans: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss the green beans in the mixture until they are well coated.

      Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the green beans and toss again to ensure even coverage.

        Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

          Cook the Beans: Place the seasoned green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the beans are crispy and the cheese is melted and golden.

            Finish with Lemon: Once cooked, remove the green beans from the air fryer, drizzle with lemon juice, and give a final toss to combine.

              Garnish and Serve: Transfer the green beans to a serving dish, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm as a delicious side dish or snack.
