    These Air Fried Green Beans are super simple to make and only take less than 5 minutes of hands on prep! This recipe is a staple for my personal cheffing clients. The lemon juice combined with the dill is oh so delicious.

    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    • It is easy!
    • It has less than 10 ingredients.
    • Kids will love this recipe.
    • It is naturally paleo, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and Whole30.
    • I love to pair this dish with seafood like my Whole30 Salmon Cake recipe.
    • This is a great recipe for a weeknight or when hosting a dinner party!

    Ingredients

    Air fried green bean ingredients in glass bowls.
    • Green beans-I prefer french green beans with the tail on. You can trim them or you can leave them the way they are. 
    • Lemon juice-In my opinion this is what makes the recipe but you can for sure make them plain!
    • Sea salt-To taste.
    • Dill weed-I am obsessed with this lemon dill combo, it is so good!
    • Avocado oil-To oil the beans. You can substitute with any kind of oil.
    • Almond slivers-I love the nice added crunch.

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • You can add additional seasonings, such as black pepper or lemon pepper, if you want more flavor.
    • If you do not like nuts, you can omit that ingredient.

    This recipe has not been tested with any other substitutions or variations. If you replace or add any ingredients, let us know how it turned out in the comments below!

    Step by Step Instructions

    Air fried green bean ingredients in a silver mixing bowl.
    Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix together. Ideally all ingredients will marinate for 30 minutes but it is ok to skip. Then, place all of the ingredients in the air fryer on 400 degrees F for 13 minutes. Serve with optional lemon zest on top.

    Equipment Needed

    • Mixing bowl
    • Air fryer

    Expert Tips

    • Tip # 1: Make sure that your almond slices are coated in the liquid to help prevent them from burning in the air fryer.
    • Tip # 2: Place the green beans in the air fryer in a single layer so that they all get equally cooked and crispy.
    • Tip # 3: I love dried dill! If you are not a fan you may want to cut the measurement in half.

    Recipe FAQ

    Can I make this dish in the oven instead of an Air Fryer?

    Yes! I would roast these in the oven at 400 degrees F until desired crispiness.

    Can I reheat this dish?

    Absolutely! I would reheat in the air fryer or oven at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.

    Can I use fresh dill instead of dried?

    Yes, but fresh vs. dried herbs have different potencies. You would have to adjust the measurement to account for the difference.

    What is the difference between dill weed and dill seed?

    Dill seed is the fruit of the dill plant and dill weed is the leaf of the plant. The dill weed is an herb and the dill seed is more of a spice. I typically use dill weed in all of my recipes.
