Tips / Storage / FAQs

Tips:

• Dry the beans before air frying to avoid steaming.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket—work in batches if needed.
• Shake halfway through for even crisping.
• Add bacon, parmesan, or spices like Cajun or chili-lime for variety.

Storage:

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.

Reheating:

• Reheat at 350°F in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes until warmed and crisp again.

Can I use frozen green beans?
Yes! Use the same temperature but double the cook time (check and adjust as needed).

Can I make this without oil?
You can skip the oil for an even lighter option, but they may be less crispy. A light spray helps with browning and flavor.

What’s the best seasoning blend to use?
Beyond garlic powder, try lemon herb, smoked paprika, ranch, or Creole seasoning for a flavor twist.
