Turning anything into fries is my favorite thing in the world. Especially when it's a healthy veggie like green beans. I mean, they are just BEGGING to be French fries. So we're going to air fry them and add a little crunch of almond along with a balsamic drizzle. Here are my delicious Keto Green Bean Fries!

Why Use Green Beans?

Green beans make an excellent low carb snack! They brown beautifully in the air fryer or roasted and the flavor gets deeper and more complex when that happens.

The roasted flavor pairs well with lots of different main dishes or these can be eaten as a snack.

Green beans are also very affordable and easy to get in most cases. In addition to that they store well in the fridge until you are ready to turn them into fries!

So grab one bag and it'll last you all week making Keto Green Bean Fries .

How To Make Crispy Air Fried Green Beans

I wish this was harder. It's almost TOO easy. Air frying keto green beans just takes 3 easy steps.

  1. Toss the green beans in a little olive oil.
  2. Season with garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Air fry for 10-15 minutes on 400 degrees fahrenheit until the edges are a bit crispy.

You see what I mean? Too simple. You could really amp up the favoring by adding a little sprinkle of lemon pepper or steak seasoning even! Sky is the limit.

What To Serve with Keto Green Bean Fries

Air Fried Green Beans are the perfect side dish for literally any meal. From chicken, to salads, an appetizer, to the best holiday side dish ever! Green beans are accessible almost all times of the year.

This makes them the perfect option for a Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring side. But since we are taking the flavors to a deep, delicious place. I suggest serving them along side a fancy holiday meal.

  • Stuffed Pork Loin - a super easy stuffed pork tenderloin that is an amazing option for Holiday cooking.
  • Low Carb Thanksgiving Stuffing - Keto thanksgiving stuffing would be an amazing side dish to add to the line up along side these air fried green beans.
  • Basil Balsamic Chicken - also a great warm-weather option to serve the beans with!

What the Best Balsamic Glaze?

I have 2 specific favorites when it comes to the PERFECT tangy glaze for these air fried green beans.

  1. Kroger Balsamic Glaze - call me crazy but this generic Kroger brand is my absolute favorite and it's budget-friendly.
  2. Pomegranate Date Syrup - ok so technically this isn't balsamic, BUT it's slightly sweet and equally tangy so I think it's a perfect combo!
  3. OR Make Your Own Balsamic Glaze - this is actually very easy to do, but I've always got the glaze in my fridge so that's my go-to!

      Yes! Air frying is an awesome alternative to steaming...gives them that super slow roasted taste in about 15 min!
