How to prepare Frittata with Green Beans in Air Fryer

To prepare the frittata with green beans in the air fryer, start by cleaning the green beans: wash them, trim them 1, and cut them into pieces 2. Cook them in plenty of salted boiling water for about 8 minutes 3, then drain and let them cool.

Crack the eggs into a bowl 4, add salt 5, pepper, and grated Parmigiano Reggiano 6.

Also add the chopped parsley 7 and whisk everything 8, then add the now warm green beans 9.

Mix everything well 10. Now take a large baking dish, 22x22 cm (about 8.66x8.66 inches), we used a glass one that fits comfortably inside the air fryer basket, and brush it with a little oil 11. Pour the egg mixture inside 12.

At this point 13, place the dish into the air fryer basket (we used an air fryer with a capacity of about 6 quarts) 14 and cook at 356°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes. Once cooked 15, wait a couple of minutes, then transfer the green bean frittata from the air fryer to a chopping board and serve!
