Notes

For best results, pat the green beans dry after washing and avoid crowding the air fryer basket. If you want to cook more than 8 ounces, prepare them in batches.

Air fryers vary, so begin checking the green beans at 8 minutes. Cook a little longer if you prefer them softer or more browned.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
