How to Make Roasted Green Beans in a Ninja Foodi
Hi, I’m Cris.
I love roasted green beans, especially when made in an air fryer. They pack big flavor and a satisfying texture that makes them a great low-carb alternative to fries. This method gives you bright, glossy beans with a crisp edge and tender center.
Air Fryer Roasted Green Beans Notes
- You can prepare these green beans in a Ninja Foodi or a traditional air fryer. Both produce excellent results.
- Cooking times are guidelines. Test the recipe in your own appliance and adjust time as needed to reach your preferred crispness.
- If you can’t find diced pimentos locally, look for them online or substitute a small amount of roasted red pepper.
- Freeze-dried garlic works well here, but fresh or jarred minced garlic can also be used.
- Nutritional values are estimates and will vary depending on the brands and ingredients you choose. Use the nutrition numbers as a general guide only.
