Air Fryer Green Beans are a fantastic, healthy, and tasty side dish. They have a perfect crunch, a bright green colour and require minimal effort.

Tossed simply with olive oil, red pepper flakes and garlic, green beans in the air fryer become tender beautifully in a fraction of the time without heating the stovetop. 

Air Fryer Green Beans are one of my favourite side dishes. Reason:

  • so easy to make
  • requires minimal oil
  • vegan and gluten-free
  • not much prep work involved
  • ready in less than 20 minutes
  • perfect side dish for busy days

In addition, this side dish can be easily personalized with your favourite spices and seasoning.

Ingredients Required

Fresh Green Beans: Use tender French green beans that are blemish-free, longer in size, and bright green. Fresh green beans should snap when broken in half.

Garlic: I add garlic powder and finely minced garlic for that extra punch.

Seasoning: Salt, Pepper, Red Paprika Powder, Chilli Flakes, Thyme

Nuts: I sprinkle sliced almonds over green beans for crunchiness, nutritional benefits, and a nutty taste. You can sprinkle roasted sesame seeds, walnuts, pine nuts, or crushed peanuts.

Olive Oil is required to make the seasoning stick to the green beans.

Optional Ingredients: Parmesan Cheese, Oregano, Parsley

How To Make

Step 1) Wash green beans with water. Pat dry them with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2) Remove the tip of the beans using a knife. Cut them in half if they are too big.

Step 3) Preheat the air fryer to 180-degree celsius.

Step 4) Combine green beans, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, and red paprika in a bowl. Mix to coat beans with the oil and seasoning.

Serving Suggestion

Air Fryer Green Beans are an excellent vegetarian side dish that you can serve with grilled meats, steaks, gravy dishes, pasta main course, or with vegetable casseroles like shepherd’s pie.

I like to eat them as a healthy, filling snack in between my meals. They are perfect for food lovers looking for minimal-calorie vegetable recipes.
