    Ingredients

    Ingredients in individual plates and bowls for air fryer green beans.
    • Fresh Green Beans
    • Avocado Oil- this is the best oil to use in an air fryer but olive oil works as well
    • Garlic Powder
    • Table Salt
    • Black Ground Pepper
    • or Everything But the Bagel Seasoning

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    Washed and trimmed beans.
    1. Wash and remove the stems from the green beans.
    Oil tossed with beans in a mixing bowl.

    2. In a medium mixing bowl, toss olive oil with the beans.

    Everything but the bagel tossed with the green beans.

    5. Serve these Air Fryer Green Beans hot as a side dish or healthy snack.

    Hint: These beans cook fast! Be sure to set a timer in order to have the texture you want. 3 minutes will giver you crisp but tender beans while five minute cook time will give you a more tender texture. Remember all air fryers cook differently and you will need to adjust accordingly.

    Substitutions

    • Everything But the Bagel Seasoning - Use everything but the bagel seasoning found at either Trader Joes or Aldi. A perfect blend of garlic, salt, and onion.

    Variations

    • Spicy - add 1 teaspoon of crushed red peppers for a spicy rendition.
    • Bacon - sprinkle bacon bits or add cooked bite sized bacon with the green beans.
    • Slivered Almonds - add ¼ cup (or more) slivered almonds with the beans before you air fry the beans.
    • Mushrooms- Toss ¼ cup sliced mushrooms of your choice with the beans before adding to the air fryer.
    • Parmesan- Add ¼ cup parmesan cheese and toss before cooking.

    Equipment

    • Air Fryer- we love this Ninja air fryer
    • Mixing Bowl

    Storage

    Store cooked green beans in an air tight container for 3-4 days. To reheat, heat in a microwave or air fry again. The texture will be softer than the original cook time.

    These ingredients do not freeze well.

    Top tip

    Air Fry to your preference! The cook time will vary depending on what type of texture you want your beans. Cook for 3 minutes to get a tender but crisp texture. Cook for 5 minutes for a more tender bean1
