Air Fryer Sesame Green Beans are an easy and flavorful side dish. They are a unique take on typical green beans and are a great addition to the dinner table!

Roasting up vegetables in the air fryer is the perfect way to cook them. And green beans cook beautifully in the air fryer!
I will sometimes just use olive oil, but when I really want something special, I toss my green beans in sesame oil before cooking. It just gives it a delicious flavor.
Ingredients
- Green beans
- Sesame oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Sesame seeds (optional)
How to make air fryer sesame green beans
Add your green beans to a bowl with the sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine so green beans are coated in the sesame oil and salt and pepper is evenly distributed.
Add to your air fryer basket and roast to perfection.
Plate and enjoy! Top with sesame seeds if desired.
What to serve with the green beans
I love serving these alongside air fryer honey garlic chicken or air fryer honey garlic salmon. And pairing with perfectly steamed rice. Makes for such a delicious meal!
