Green beans in the air fryer

Air fry green beans at 400°F (205°C) for 12 to 15 minutes. That is for fresh, trimmed, in a preheated basket air fryer; the calculator above fits it to your weight, your air fryer and how you like it. Shake the basket halfway, so every piece crisps.

Questions

What temperature should I air fry green beans at?

400°F (205°C) for fresh, trimmed, for 12 to 15 minutes. Pick another cut in the calculator and the heat and time follow it.

Should I shake the basket?

Yes, halfway through, so every piece crisps evenly. Start the timer and it tells you when.

How do I check green beans for doneness?

When it is golden at the edges and tender inside. Start checking at the low end of the time.

How much can I cook at once?

One layer, with a little room between the pieces, so the hot air reaches them all. Piled higher, food steams instead of crisping; the calculator splits a bigger amount into batches.

Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

These times assume a preheated air fryer, which takes about 3 to 5 minutes. From cold, choose "No, from cold" and 3 minutes are added.
