Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Frozen Green Beans whole
  • Oil Spray We use avocado oil. See our guide to air frying oils!
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Parmesan Cheese optional
  • Garlic Butter optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. When preheated, spray the air fryer basket lightly with Oil Spray. Make sure to use oil in a sprayer bottle and not a pressurized cooking spray.
  • Pour 1 pound Frozen Green Beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the basket. Air fry at 375°F for 6 minutes.
  • After the first 6 minutes, open the air fryer basket. Spray the beans with oil and season with ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt, ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder, and ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper. Shake the basket to distribute the seasoning.
  • Close the basket and air fry another 6 minutes until tender and heated through.
  • When tender and heated through to your liking, remove the green beans to a serving dish and drizzle with Garlic Butter and a sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Cook from frozen – Do not thaw first or the green beans will be soggy!
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook in a single layer to allow airflow around the food. If you're preparing large quantities of green beans, we recommend you cook in batches.
  • Cook time may vary depending on your specific air fryer. All air fryer models vary, so you may find yours requires more or less time than ours.
  • Use an oil sprayer with your preferred oil. Do not use pressurized cooking spray with additives, as it can damage the non-stick surface of your air fryer.
  • Recipe time and temperature is based on a preheated air fryer. If cooking in multiple batches, be sure to check on the remaining batches early, as they might cook more quickly. 
  • Remember to set your timer if your air fryer doesn't remind you to shake halfway through cooking!
