This is a beautiful recipe to cook and eat green beans. Quick and easy, this recipe is the perfect side for any weeknight dinner. Easy 15-minute air fryer green beans are just delicious. This dish is low-calorie and super healthy.
Making these in the air fryer is super duper easy. Just prepare the green beans and throw them in the air fryer. In another 8-10 minutes, your crispy, crunchy green beans are ready to eat.
Why Air Fryer?
Making green beans is easy and mess-free. It can be cooked almost unsupervised. The air fryer version is crunchier than pan-cooked green beans.
Ingredients Needed to Make This-
Fresh or frozen green beans: Make sure you dry the frozen ones with a thick paper towel- defrosting the beans is not required. Tweak the ends from the fresh beans. However, I like to keep the very fresh ones.
Paprika, Cayenne, or red chili powder: It depends on your capacity to tolerate heat. If you don't like to add, you can skip it too.
Minced Garlic- The flavor of the garlic makes it delicious.
Salt
Olive Oil- Any good quality oil will work here. However, I prefer to use olive oil.
How to Cook Them-
Coat green beans with olive oil thoroughly. Season them with minced garlic, paprika/cayenne/red chili powder, and salt.
Place them in the air fryer basket after spraying the basket.
Air fry them till they look crispy for your taste.

How Long for the Frozen Green Beans?
Frozen green beans have more water content inside them. First, use a paper towel or cloth to wipe and dry them. They take longer time than fresh ones, around 10-12 minutes. That, too, depends on your likeness of crispy things.

I'm interested in the Air Fryer Green Beans but your recipe doesn't identify what the flakey reddish ingredient is that looks like it makes a
substantial contribution to the taste as well as the look! At first I thought it was chopped bacon but it seems to be something else...
Hello,
That's minced garlic and paprika.Its written in the recipe card and I have explained that as well. Having said that you can't go wrong with bacon.Use it any where or on anything .It will taste great.
