Cook's Notes
If you like your green beans slightly crispy still, cook for only 10 minutes. Use any other seasonings you like to flavor your green beans, like garlic salt, soy sauce, or seasoned salt. All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results. For a variation, par-boil beans for 7-8 minutes first, then plunge into ice water to halt cooking before air-frying. Try a sauce made by blending garlic cloves with EVOO, sesame oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, and zest of one lemon, then sauté and mix into cooked beans.
