They are delicious dipped in ranch dressing, sour cream and chives, sriracha with mayo, or a garlic dip.

Fresh green beans should be bright green and firm.
They shouldn’t be floppy, wrinkled, or brown.
So, if they don’t look right, then don’t buy them.

There are many different brands of air fryers.
It’s a personal choice and of course, we haven’t tried every single brand and model of air fryer.
But this is the air fryer that we love, it’s the best one we’ve used (and we’ve used a few).
Play with the flavors
We’ve shown you a simple green beans recipe, but if you like, you can play with the flavors.
Toss with garlic powder or spice them up with some paprika or red pepper flakes.
Try them with Italian seasoning, cajun seasoning, or Indian spice mix.
After cooking, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over them.
Give them a cheesy crunchy taste.
Mix panko bread crumbs and finely grated vegetarian Parmesan cheese together.
Dip the green beans in beaten egg and then roll them in the cheese mixture before placing them in the air fryer basket.
How do I store them?
Store any leftover green beans in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
How do I reheat cooked green beans?
It’s easy to reheat green beans.
Spray with a little olive oil cooking spray and then place the green beans in the air fryer and air fry for approximately 4 minutes at 375°F/190°C.
This should bring back a little of the crispiness to the beans.
