Air Fryer Fried Crispy Green Beans is a quick and easy side dish recipe made from fresh or frozen green beans. Vegan, Keto/Low carb, Whole-30, and Gluten-free.
Green beans, also known as string beans, are rich in vitamins K and C, and they also contain a good amount of calcium and protein. They are also a good source of fiber.
I love air-frying roasted vegetables like beets, butternut squash, carrots, and zucchini in my Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer. They are super quick to make and are crowd-pleasing side dishes.
Today I am sharing cooking green beans in the air fryer. They are easy, healthy, tender, and roasted to perfection in the air fryer.

Tips & Notes for Air Fryer Green Beans
- Cook in batches. Make sure to spread the green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding, so that the veggies don't steam. Cook in batches if needed.
- Shake the basket halfway: It's important to shake it halfway through to allow the sweet potatoes to be cooked evenly.
- Serve them right away: These crispy roasted green beans get soggy as they sit and cool.
- The exact cooking time will vary based on the air fryer being used.
Seasoning Variations
- Lemon zest or lemon wedges.
- Parmesan cheese
- Fresh Herbs like mint, basil, or parsley.
- Italian seasoning, red chili flakes
- Toasted sliced almonds
FAQs
Yes. You can. Firstly thaw the frozen green beans to room temperature, and pat dry any moisture using a paper towel. Then, use the same temperature and air fry the beans for 3-4 minutes until tender and crispy. Adjust the cooking time as necessary.
You can store the leftover roasted green beans in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 3 days.
