How To Trim Green Beans?
To prepare, snap off the stem ends (with your hands or cut with a knife) of the bean, pulling off the stringy fibrous thread.
Young beans might not have any of the fibrous thread. The other pointy end is perfectly fine to eat, but you could chop that off if you wish.
Wash them and dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel. If there is any excess moisture then it might make them to steam instead of roasting.
When picking fresh ones at the store, the beans should snap off when bent in half and are bright green in color.
Can I Use Frozen Beans?
We recommend using fresh ones for the perfect texture. However, if you want to use frozen vegetables, then rinse them in a colander under running water, until they are almost thawed. Dry with kitchen towel and then proceed with the recipe.
INGREDIENTS (please scroll down to the bottom of the blog post for full recipe)
- Green beans – Fresh green beans are recommended because they have the perfect texture when cooked.
- Olive oil - Extra virgin olive oil.
- Seasonings – Salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and black pepper.
- Panko - Gives an amazingly crispy topping.
- Parmesan cheese - Use shredded parmesan cheese and not the stuff from green can.
HELPFUL TIPS
- Place in a single layer - Make sure that the veggies are in a single layer so that they roast instead of steaming.
- Air fryer size - We cooked one pound in a 6 quart Instant Vortex which was just the perfect size for the quantity. If using a smaller appliance, then cook in two batches.
- Cook till Golden Brown - Cook until the topping gets a golden brown color. It makes it crispy and delicious.
- Resting time - Open the basket and let the cooked veggie cool for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy the hot - The topping and beans tends to loose it crispness when it cools. So enjoy them while it's hot.
How to Make (please scroll down to the bottom of the blog post for full recipe)
- Prep - Toss washed and dried green beans with olive oil and seasonings, making sure that the seasoning coats evenly.
- Cook - Air fry at 380° for 4 minutes, give the basket a good shake and spread evenly.
- Top - Sprinkle panko and parmesan coating on top and continue cooking for 4 to 6 minutes until it gets a golden brown color.
How To Store Leftovers?
Place them evenly in a air tight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Make sure to save most of the panko parmesan topping from the basket.

Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees. Place beans in a single layer and sprinkle any parmesan breadcrumb mixture on top and cook until it is hot and crisp.
