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
Yes! I would roast these in the oven at 400 degrees F until desired crispiness.
Absolutely! I would reheat in the air fryer or oven at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.
Yes, but fresh vs. dried herbs have different potencies. You would have to adjust the measurement to account for the difference.
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.
Storage Instructions
- This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an air tight container.

Air Fryer Green Beans
Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans ( I like to buy fresh ones, but you can also use the bag ones that are pre-trimmed)
- 1 whole lemon, juiced The softer the lemon, the better! It will produce more juice.

- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1/3 cup almond slivers
- 1/2 tsp pink sea salt
OPTIONAL:
- 1 whole lemon to zest for on top once cooked
Instructions
- 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 ingredients in the air fryer on 400 degrees F for 13 minutes. Serve with optional lemon zest on top.
