How To Cook Frozen Breaded Green Beans In Air Fryer

Step One: Open the package of frozen breaded green beans, place them into the air fryer basket. You do not need any oil, you do not need to spray your basket or the fries.

Step Two: Set the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F, and set cook time for 7 to 8 minutes. Shake the basket frequently during the cooking process, so the fries get evenly cooked.

Frozen Breaded Green Beans In Air Fryer Recipe Tips

  • Crowding: This is an easy recipe, but depending on how large your air fryer is, you may need to cook these frozen fried green beans in batches. When you add too much food to your air fryer, what happens is it will not cook evenly. So spread your green bean fries in the air fryer in a single layer.
  • Flipping or Shaking: In order to get the best crispy green bean fries, you should shake or flip your frozen fried green beans during the cooking process, so all sides get perfectly cooked.
  • No Oil: As with most frozen foods, there is no need to add any oil to this recipe. They will not need anything to help them crisp up. The hot air circulating around the green bean fries will do that without any help from oil.
  • Timing: Since every air fryer is slightly different, the timing will vary from air fryer to air fryer, so remember to watch your green bean fries as they cook up. When they are done, remove them from the air fryer!

Storing & Reheating

  • Storing: Allow the green beans to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure they’re not stacked too tightly to help preserve crispness.
  • Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 3–5 minutes to bring back their crispy texture. Avoid the microwave, as it may make them soggy.
