Step-by-step preparation

Preparing green beans

Start by rinsing the green beans thoroughly under cold water. Then cut off the tough ends. If you're using frozen green beans, let them thaw beforehand and drain well to prevent them from becoming too soft during cooking.

Season the green beans

Place the green beans in a large bowl. Add olive oil, minced garlic, sliced onion, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all the beans are coated with the seasoning. For those who like spicy flavorsA little paprika may be added.

Air fryer cooking

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C for about 5 minutes. Once ready, place the seasoned green beans in the fryer basket, avoiding excessive overlapping to ensure even, optimal cooking. Cook for 15-18 minutes shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure that each bean is perfectly crisp.

Parmesan cheese

While the beans are cooking, prepare some freshly grated Parmesan cheese. As soon as the beans are crispRemove from the fryer and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan so that it melts slightly with the residual heat.

Culinary tips and variations

Possible substitutions

If you don't have green beans on hand, you can consult the following alternatives:

• Asparagus Cut into pieces the same length as the green beans for even cooking.
• Broccoli Reduce cooking time to 12-15 minutes to avoid burning the florets.

Recommended combinations

For a balanced and complete meal, serve your crispy green beans with :

• Grilled salmon fillets: the mix of textures between tender salmon and crispy green beans is perfect.
• Hashbrowns: double the crunch!

Storage and reheating

If you have leftovers, place them in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the air fryer at 160°C for 5 minutes to regain their crispness without using a microwave, which could make the vegetables soft.
