Cut Back On Saturated Fat<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As far as dietary fats are concerned, saturated fats should be kept to a minimum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the American Heart Association, too much can lead to higher cholesterol levels, which can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/healthy-living\/healthy-eating\/eat-smart\/fats\/saturated-fats\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Yet the deep fried foods that we so often crave tend to be high in saturated fat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the contrary, air frying reduces the amount of fat you\u2019re consuming without sacrificing the flavor and texture. According to one study, there&#8217;s a 68 percent reduction in fat content between deep fried and air fried foods(<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alanrevista.org\/ediciones\/2013\/1\/art-1\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Cut_Back_On_Calories\"><\/span><strong>2.

Crispy Air Fried Green Beans (Chef&#8217;s Tips)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few dos and don&#8217;ts to follow if you want to get the crispiest <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/guilt-free-dessert\/\">green beans<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Completely_Blot_The_Beans_With_Paper_Towel\"><\/span><strong>Do: Completely Blot The Beans With Paper Towel<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before cooking, make sure to pat your beans dry with a paper towel. This serves two purposes: it removes excess moisture that can steam the beans, and helps them crisp up better in the air fryer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Use_Cooking_Spray\"><\/span><strong>Do: Use Cooking Spray<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using cooking spray helps ensure that the beans don\u2019t stick to the basket and get nice and crispy. A few spritzes of your favorite oil-based spray should do the trick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Overcrowd_The_Basket\"><\/span><strong>Don&#8217;t: Overcrowd The Basket<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you pile too many beans in the air fryer, they won&#8217;t get as crispy. That&#8217;s because overcrowding traps moisture, preventing the beans from getting that crunchy texture we all love.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Health_Benefits_Of_Going_Air_Fried\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44413 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207609-1024x576.png\" alt=\"air fryer green beans\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207609.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207609-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207609.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207609-1637x920.png 1637w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207609.png 1729w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Experiment_With_Seasonings\"><\/span><strong>Do: Experiment With Seasonings<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some seasonings serve a double purpose: they add flavor and help the beans crisp up.

Frozen green beans can be cooked in the air fryer. The only difference is that you&#8217;ll need to adjust the cooking time. For frozen green beans, the ideal cooking time is around 10-14 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They need longer cooking time to ensure they are cooked through. And also make sure to shake the basket occasionally while they are cooking to ensure even browning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, fresh green beans are the best option when you&#8217;re air frying. As they have higher water content, they cook faster and come out more flavorful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Reasons why BetterMe is a safe bet: a wide range of calorie-blasting workouts, finger-licking recipes, 24\/7 support, challenges that\u2019ll keep you on your best game, and that just scratches the surface! <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Health_Benefits_Of_Going_Air_Fried\">Start using our app<\/a> and watch the magic happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the health-conscious and time-starved, air frying your green beans can be a tasty, time-saving solution.

But, did you know that air frying your veggies also comes with some serious health benefits? More about that below! <\/span><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">If you're a green bean skeptic who isn't convinced that air frying could make the bland vegetable any tastier, we get it. And we have a couple of chef-approved tricks to share that will make your air-fried green beans come out perfectly crispy every time.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Now let\u2019s talk about health benefits. Why should you cook your green beans in an air fryer?<\/span>\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n<h2 style=\\\"text-align: center;\\\"><strong>7 Reasons To Air Fry Your Green Beans<\/strong><\/h2>\\r\\n<span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Green beans are already a healthy, nutrient-dense food, but air frying them adds an extra layer of health benefits. Here are six reasons you should consider going \u201cair fried\u201d with your green beans:\u00a0<\/span>\\r\\n<h3><strong>1. Cut Back On Saturated Fat<\/strong><\/h3>\\r\\n<span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">As far as dietary fats are concerned, saturated fats should be kept to a minimum.<\/span>\\r\\n\\r\\n<span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">According to the American Heart Association, too much can lead to higher cholesterol levels, which can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke (<\/span><a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/healthy-living\/healthy-eating\/eat-smart\/fats\/saturated-fats\\\"><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">). Yet the deep fried foods that we so often crave tend to be high in saturated fat.<\/span>\\r\\n\\r\\n<span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">On the contrary, air frying reduces the amount of fat you\u2019re consuming without sacrificing the flavor and texture.
