Air Fryer Green Beans

5 from 6 votes

I'm obsessed with these tender-crisp Air Fryer Green Beans topped with golden Parmesan breadcrumbs. Delicious and less than 15 minutes to make.

Yield: 2 servings

Course: Side Dish

Cuisine: American

Equipment

Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 pound green beans (rinsed, trimmed and patted dry)
1 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
¼ teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 small garlic cloves (minced or pressed through a garlic press)
2 ½ tablespoons grated pecorino romano or parmesan cheese
1 ½ tablespoon seasoned breadcrumbs (such as 4C or gluten-free crumbs)
½ teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon dried parsley
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the green beans, 2 teaspoons olive oil and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Toss to evenly coat.
Add the green beans to the air fryer basket and air fry 375F 6 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until crisp tender.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic, ⅛ teaspoon salt, paprika, parsley, black pepper and remaining 1 teaspoon oil and mix well. Open the air fryer basket and evenly spread over the green beans, then spritz with olive oil spray. Air fry 375F for 2 minutes until golden.
Transfer beans to a serving platter and serve immediately.

Notes

No air fryer? No problem! Roast them on a sheet pan 425F 15 minutes, stirring halfway then add crumbs and cook 2 to 3 minutes.
