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 these sesame green beans cook beautifully in the air fryer! 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.

What to serve with the green beans

I love serving the sesame green beans alongside air fryer honey garlic chicken or air fryer honey garlic salmon. They also pair perfectly with steamed rice.
