what you will need
Notes on ingredients
- Green beans- Fresh green beans are what you want for this recipe. You can find them at most stores and farmers markets. Just trim the ends for the best texture.
- avocado oil This is a tasteless oil that works well here. It helps crisp up the green beans and keeps the spices in place.
- Spices- We use garlic powder, black pepper and kosher salt. These are our flavor enhancers.
- basket air fryer This is the perfect size to thoroughly cook that many green beans.
Add-Ins and Substitutions
- Substitute other oils- Instead of avocado oil, make these with olive oil, canola oil, or even mayonnaise. Any oil will help crisp up the outsides of these Air Fryer Green Beans.
- add spices- Add paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, onion powder, or thyme to these green beans.
- Substitute Frozen Green Beans- You can use frozen green beans, but since they tend to contain more water, they will steam more. Cook them a few minutes longer to allow for thawing.
- Add other vegetables- Make this with julienned zucchini, broccolini, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus. Just reduce the amount of green beans so you don’t overfill the basket.
How to make Air Fryer Green Beans
- Prepare green beans. Wash green beans, pat dry and trim.
- preheat. Then preheat your basket air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Season. Now put the green beans in a large bowl and mix with avocado oil, garlic powder, black pepper and kosher salt.
- fry air. Place the green beans in the air fryer basket and air fry for about 8-10 minutes. Serve warm.
Pro tip: Halfway through cooking, give the basket a quick shake to ensure all the green beans get an even distribution of hot air and aren’t sticking together.
recipe tips
- Dry green beans Oil won’t stick to wet green beans, so dry them off after washing them to help the oil and spices stick.
- cut ends- The ends are tough and fibrous, so it’s best to trim them off so these Air Fryer Green Beans have the best texture.
- Thoroughly brush with oil The oil helps them retain that delicious crunch on the outside. If you brush them well with oil, they have a great texture and are flavorful.
- Do not overfill the basket – Because air fryers recirculate quickly, overfilling the basket will result in some green beans becoming undercooked or mushy.
