Making air fried green beans in the air fryer is about as easy as it gets! There’s more to an air fryer than just making Air Fryer Cheeseburgers and Air Fryer French Fries! You can roast veggies, too!
I’m no stranger to green beans. I make my Instant Pot Southern Green Beans for every occasion. These are a little easier with the air fryer. I’m definitely going to add them to our rotation.
These are perfect for the holidays, too. Check out 20 Quick and Easy Air Fryer Thanksgiving Recipes here.
How to Make and Cook Green Beans in the Air Fryer

- Lay out the green beans in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry.

Air Fryer Temperature
I use 370 degrees.
How Long to Cook the Green Beans
7-9 minutes was the perfect time for me to give them a soft texture with a crunch. If you like crispy green beans, cook them longer and monitor them.
How to Cook Frozen Green Beans in Air Fryer
For frozen green beans, use the same temperature but double the cook time. Check in on the green beans and adjust the cook time as necessary.

These were ridiculously easy and very delicious for a midweek side dish to go along with some seasoned ground beef. Definitely recommend if you have a lot of green beans that need to get eaten ASAP.

These were really good! I was a little skeptical at the half way cook time but the finished product was perfect. Definitely better than steamed.
