Did you know you can make delicious Air Fryer Green Beans from a can? That’s right, shelf stable canned green beans are easy to make in your air fryer.

Air Fryer Beans (canned) are a great air fryer side dish recipe.
Air fried green beans are done in less time than conventional methods, and they taste better, too!
You might remember our recent post about air fryer potatoes from a can.
Those are delicious too!
We love that this air fryer green bean recipe uses green beans from a can.
This particular recipe lends itself to be a great one in times where fresh green beans aren’t as easily accessible.
Canned beans are a staple that we keep in our “emergency preparedness kit.”
HOW TO MAKE CANNED GREEN BEANS IN THE AIR FRYER

HOW TO SERVE AIR Fried Green Beans (from a can)
There are so many delicious ways to eat green beans. A pat of butter, fresh herbs, and a sprinkle of fresh cracked black pepper is a simple, but scrumptious way to enjoy your beans.
But if you’re looking to jazz up your beans, try some of these toppings ideas:
Load them with crumbled strips of crispy Air Fryer Bacon. Yum!
Season with taco seasoning, black beans, and diced tomatoes or your favorite salsa for a Mexican-style masterpiece!
Smother your air fryer beans with parmesan cheese.
