    🥘 Ingredients

    Ingredient Notes:

    Frozen green beans- You will need some frozen green beans for this recipe. Make sure to pay attention to the "style" that the green beans are cut, as some may be French cut or skinnier than others. They're fine to use but may require a close eye to make sure that they don't burn or overcook.

    Olive oil- This will help to bind the spices to the green beans and give them a crispier texture when cooked.

    Seasonings- Keeping the seasonings simple with some salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder keeps this recipe frugal and tasty.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    📖 Air Fryer Cooking Method

    1. Lay your frozen (unthawed) green beans in the bottom of your air fryer basket and arrange them into a single even layer. It's okay if there is a little overlapping.
    2. Cook at 380 degrees F for 10 minutes. Toss the green beans around in the basket about halfway through.
    3. Empty the green beans into a serving bowl.
    4. Toss with the seasonings and olive oil until well coated.
    5. Serve warm and enjoy.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. They could be ready sooner. Cooking frozen green beans takes longer than fresh ones due to excess moisture and chill factor. By the 15-minute mark, they look good, and you may finish if heated through. An extra 15 minutes adds a firmer bite.
    2. Adjust to taste. Seasonings are customizable, but a simple combination pairs well with anything.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    Leftover green beans can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-5 days. Simply reheat and eat when ready.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    Do you thaw frozen green beans before cooking?

    Nope! No need to thaw anything before starting this recipe for frozen green beans. Simply remove from freezer, toss in oil and seasonings, and then bake. Super easy!

    Does roasting frozen green beans make them crispy?

    Yes, when you roast green beans using this oven method, you'll find that they turn out nice and crisp or even a bit caramelized depending on how well you stirred them around at the midway point.

    How do you make roasted green beans taste better?

    Adding seasonings really helps to bring out better flavor from every bean. For more flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or even sprinkle some parmesan cheese on the green beans during the last few minutes of roasting. Yum!
