Why Make Frozen Green Beans in an Air Fryer

That makes this delicious recipe the perfect side dish for your whole family to enjoy. That said, whether as a healthy snack or for a busy weeknight dinner, add this simple recipe to your list of easy air fryer recipes. See the easy step-by-step instructions below.
- Cost-effective: eating budget-friendly keto and healthy meals doesn’t have to be difficult. Adding frozen foods to the menu is cheaper than fresh (in this case, frozen green beans are cheaper than fresh vegetables) and it lasts longer (because it’s stored in the freezer until you’re ready to use them).
Ingredients Needed
- Green beans: I got frozen green beans that were already cut. You should not and do not need to thaw these.
- Sea Salt: I’m using my favorite fine sea salt, but any sea salt will work
- 24 Herb Sprinkle seasoning: I’m using the same blend (which includes garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and more) that worked well on my roasted chicken legs. It is salt-free. However, feel free to use Italian seasoning or your favorite seasonings if you prefer.
- Avocado oil
How to Make Air Fryer Frozen Green Beans
- Add the frozen green beans, oil, salt and sprinkle seasoning to a mixing bowl and toss to combine.
- Place the green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400 degrees for a cooking time of 6-7 minutes per side.
Top Cooking Tips & FAQs
- Use frozen cut or whole green beans: this air fryer green beans recipe works with any frozen green beans. I’d personally avoid French green beans (French cut) because the slices are too small and shredded, making it a bit annoying to remove from the cooking basket.
- Frozen green beans turn out more like sautéed: This air fryer frozen green beans recipe is perfect if you’re looking for a quick sauteed style vegetable side dish. But, if you want something more crisp, you should use my air fryer green beans recipe instead because air frying fresh green beans is a great way to get crispy green beans.
- For extra heat: If you like your food a little spicy, with a little kick, try adding some red pepper flakes and/or cayenne pepper, based on your preference.
- How to store leftover green beans: If you have any leftovers from this Air Fryer Green Bean Recipe, the best way to store them is in an airtight container for next time (up to 5 days).
It takes about 12 minutes.
No. In fact, the packaging states do not thaw.
