Air Fryer Green Beans

No reviews

10 minutes and a handful of ingredients is all it takes to make these easy air fryer green beans! Crisp and tender they are the perfect simple side dish for a busy weeknight. Dress them up with my creamy garlic Parmesan sauce or keep it simple with just a sprinkle of finishing salt!

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb. fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • Easy Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce

Instructions

  1. Set air fryer to 375 degrees.
  2. Wash, trim, and dry beans.
  3. Place in a large bowl and drizzle them with olive oil.
  4. Season with garlic powder and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper. Toss to coat beans evenly.
  5. Transfer to the air fryer tray or basket and arrange in a single layer.
  6. Cook for 6-10 minutes (depending on how crunchy or well done you like your beans) flipping halfway through.
  7. Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce, and enjoy!

Notes

  • The green beans will cook best if they’re arranged in a single layer in the air fryer. That’s what I love my Instant Vortex because it has 2 trays that I can arrange the green beans on. If you aren’t able to arrange them in a single layer, you could also try cooking them in two batches instead.
  • Don’t forget to flip the beans! To get a nice, even cook on the green beans, flip them or give the air fryer basket a shake about halfway through.
  • If you like your beans crunchy, you’ll only need to air fry them for about 5-6 minutes. If you prefer a more well done green bean, feel free to cook them for the full 10 minutes.
