  • 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 ½ teaspoon of basil, thyme, and oregano.

Recipe Step-By-Step Directions:

Washed green beans in a collander.

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.

Raw green beans and seasonings in a large bowl.

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.

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.

Bake them:

You can still make this delicious dish if you don’t have an air fryer! Preheat your oven to 400º F. Prepare the green beans the same way, but place them onto a sheet pan. Bake for 25 minutes until done.

Tips and Recipe FAQ:

Can you use frozen green beans in the air fryer?

You can use frozen green beans in the air fryer, but they will turn out a bit mushier and will not roast and caramelize the same way. This is because of the extra water in frozen green beans.

Why did the roasted green beans turn out tough?

This shouldn’t be the case, and it mostly happens if the green beans were picked too late. They are more fibrous as they get older on the plant.

Can you freeze the roasted green beans?

You can freeze these roasted green beans, but when you reheat them, the texture will be a bit different.

How long will these air fryer green beans keep fresh?

These green beans should keep fresh up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

    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!

    1. I am so glad you loved this green beans recipe. I love it, as do my kids, which is definitely saying something. Thank you so much for coming back to let me know you enjoyed them.
