Garlic Parmesan Green Beans (Oven and Air Fryer Options)

Paula
These Garlic Parmesan Green Beans are seriously addictive. Blistery, salty, and loaded with flavor. They're ready in under 15 minutes and work perfectly in either the oven or air fryer. Just toss fresh green beans with olive oil, roast them until they're blistered and beautiful, then finish them off with garlic, parmesan, and a bright squeeze of lemon. Even the pickiest eaters won't be able to resist going back for seconds!

Equipment

  • Sheet pan optional, for oven method
  • Air fryer optional, for air fryer method
  • mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Knife and cutting board or microplane grater for mincing the garlic. Can also use a microplane for the cheese!

Ingredients
  

  • 300 grams green beans fresh, trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil extra virgin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese finely grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 475. If using an air fryer, preheat to 230C.
  • Snap the stem ends off the green beans and give them a good wash.
  • Toss the green beans with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • For the oven method, arrange the beans in a single layer on a sheet pan and roast for 5 minutes. For the air fryer method, add the green beans to the drawer without any racks inside, and air fry for 4 minutes.
  • Remove the beans from the oven or air fryer and dump them back into the bowl.
  • Toss the green beans with garlic and Parmesan.
  • Tip the beans back onto the sheet pan or into the air fryer basket, keeping them in a single layer: but fairly close together without big gaps so the cheese melts into the beans instead of onto the bottom.
  • Roast for another 3-4 minutes in the oven or 1-2 minutes in the air fryer or until the beans are cooked through and slightly blistered.
  • Enjoy with a big squeeze of lemon.
