What Makes This Recipe So Good
- Cooking green beans in the air fryer is the best way to prepare these delicious veggies. The air fryer crisps them up perfectly, with no burnt, soggy pieces. And they’re ready in no time at all, which is great for busy weeknights.
- Air fryer frozen green beans are full of flavor and pair well with a wide range of main courses. Put them with chicken almondine, chicken costoletta, potato crusted cod…the possibilities are endless.
👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
- You can totally customize the seasonings you use! Craving some spice? Add a sprinkle of paprika or red pepper flakes. Serving them with a flavorful main dish? Match the seasonings for the green beans. Italian seasoning, lemon juice or zest, grated parmesan…they’re the perfect neutral canvas to match whatever flavors you’re craving or serving!
- If you have a small air fryer, you may need to work in batches in order to evenly cook your green beans. Overcrowding the basket keeps the green beans from getting perfectly crispy!
