Tara’s Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Green Beans EVERY TIME:
- use fresh green beans, not frozen!
- high heat oil works best … if you use oil, I recommend Avocado Oil Spray for this one.Β If not, just go without it!
- bring on the heat! if you like it hot sprinkle on the red pepper flakes before and after cooking
- don’t crowd your beans! single layer only in the air fryer for these or they will be soggy
- adjust your timing, every air fryer and every batch of beans are different, increase cook time if needed
- snip the ends prior to airy frying, totally worth the effort.
- check this out before ever making another air fryer mistake again:Most Common Air Fryer Mistakes.

Air Fryer Green Beans

Crispy, healthy, yummy green beans ready in 8 minutes! What a crowd pleaser!
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- Avocado oil spray - enough to coat your beans (optional)
- 1 tsp Himalayan Pink Sea Salt (sub salt of choice)
- crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
Directions
- Step 1 Preheat Air Fryer to 400 degrees
- Step 2 Rinse Green Beans well in strainer + dry
- Step 3 Trim the ends off beans by snipping with a kitchen scissor
- Step 4 Spread green beans out on cutting board and spray with Avocado Oil to coat (if using oil)
- Step 5 Transfer beans to a large bowl, add salt, gently stir to salt each bean. I add a little red pepper flakes here because we like them extra spicy.
- Step 6 Place beans in air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your fryer and the size of your beans, may need to cook in 2 batches. If you crowd them they will not be as crispy!
- Step 7 Cook for 8 minutes on 400 degrees. Shake the basket once during cooking. Air fryers vary. Check your beans for golden brown tips and then you know they are done!
- Step 8 When timer goes off, carefully remove beans from fryer, check salt and spice levels, sprinkle with additional red pepper flakes and/or salt to taste. Serve or eat immediately! Enjoy!
