HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER GREEN BEANS

This green bean recipe couldn't be easier or faster!

Two ingredients and four steps and you're ready for dinner.

1. First, wash your green beans thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Also, trim the ends if they need it.
2. Next, measure your oil and toss the beans in it. Make sure they're evenly coated for a good cook on the outside!
3. Then, add the green beans to your air fryer basket or on a tray in your air fryer toaster oven! Cook them for about 10 minutes at 390 degrees F or 198 degrees C. I prefer mine to still have that natural crunch, but if you like yours cooked more, add another 2-3 minutes.
4. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Can I Use Frozen Green Beans?

I always prefer fresh green beans because they have that great *snap* to them, but if you can't get fresh, frozen is your next bet!

If using frozen and you have time to thaw them, do so!

I like rinsing mine in cold water in a colander until they're almost thawed. Let them dry on a paper towel before adding your oil, and you're set!

No time to thaw? No problem! Keep your same cooking temperature but increase the cooking time to about double.

Check on your beans every 5-6 minutes, and make sure there's not a ton of water in your basket from the thawing beans.

What to Serve with Air Fryer Green Beans

Much like Instant Pots and slow cookers, air fryer recipes are great because it gives you a lot of time to do other things around the kitchen!

However, it's hard to make a whole dinner in the air fryer without multiples or things getting cold. But, fear not! I have other ideas for you.

I love this Vegan Shepherd's Pie because it also requires some work at the beginning but then gives you plenty of time to do your green beans from start to finish before it's out of the oven! Packed with veggies and topped with a delicious vegan mashed potato crust, it's perfect for carnivores and herbivores alike.

This gluten-free Wild Rice Mushroom Casserole works as a heart side dish or a great Meatless Monday dish alongside your green beans.

It's filled with rice, onion, mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, and CHEESE so it's got everything you need!
