❤️ Sandi’s Recipe Summary
If you love roasted vegetables, this air fryer-roasted green beans recipe will become your favorite. They have a sweet, fresh flavor that can’t be beaten!
Use all green beans, yellow wax beans, or purple string beans in this recipe. I tested this recipe using a combination of all three green bean colors, but the purple string beans turned green when they cooked. If you like to serve more than one side with your dinners, check out all of my delicious gluten-free side dish recipes for even more inspiration.
Using the air fryer frees up the oven for other cooking. I love to air fry foods and have a lot of easy gluten-free air fryer recipes! If you are trying to decide on what air fryer to get, I have a great list of the best air fryers for gluten free. I include a comprehensive list of pros and cons for each model.
Ingredient Notes:
For the full list of ingredients and amounts, please go to the recipe card below.
- Green Beans – As I mentioned above, you can use traditional green beans or purple or yellow wax beans.
- Garlic Powder – The majority of spices are gluten free, but I highly encourage you to always read the label just in case.
- Olive Oil – I like to use virgin olive oil, but you can use regular or any light oil.
- Italian Seasonings – I use a pre-blended mix, but you can make your own using 1/2 teaspoon of basil, thyme, and oregano.
How to Make Air Fryer Green Beans (Step-By-Step)
Step 1: Wash your green beans in cold water. Use a colander so the extra water runs out. Place the green beans on a cutting board and cut off the stems.
Step 2: Place the beans into a large bowl. Sprinkle on the Italian seasonings and salt. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.

Step 3: Place the green beans into the air fryer. I used a Ninja Foodie Air Fryer, and it had two compartments, so I filled both so the green beans had more space.
Step 4: Cook the green beans at 375º F for 10 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator. To warm them, you can microwave or pan-sauté them.
Hint: If your air fryer is really full, open the air fryer at 8 minutes and use tongs to toss and stir the green beans so they cook evenly. Cook an additional 6-7 minutes.
Serve them hot with this delicious Grilled NY Strip Sirloin or this Grilled Halibut with Pesto Sauce with a Gluten-Free Dinner Roll.
Oven Roasting Instructions:
You can still make this delicious dish without an air fryer! Preheat your oven to 400°F. Prepare the green beans the same way, then place them on a sheet pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until done.
Frequently Asked Questions:
You can use frozen green beans in the air fryer, but they will turn out mushier due to the water. They will not roast and caramelize as well.
This shouldn’t be the case, and it mostly happens if the green beans are picked too late. They become more fibrous as they age on the plant.
You can freeze these roasted green beans, but they will be slightly different in texture when you reheat them.
These green beans should keep fresh for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn’t test, my rule of thumb is to add more flour if your dough or batter is wet and add more liquid if the dough or batter is too dry!

I truly hope you enjoy this recipe. I have been testing and creating gluten-free recipes for over 15 years. Creating gluten-free recipes that do not taste gluten-free is my goal for every recipe. Sometimes I only have to test a new recipe a couple of times, and others it takes multiple times. I do this so you get reliable, delicious results every time!
How could such a simple recipe taste so good! The neighbor brought me over fresh green beans! How great to find a recipe that used things I already had in my pantry! I paired this with your Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan, both dishes complimented each other and made for a beautiful dinner plate! I made the beans exactly as the recipe instructed and they were perfect! Thanks!
