Notes

  1. Your Air Fryer: This recipe features an air fryer, and it is important to clarify from the beginning of this recipe that some air fryer models require pre-heating, but the air fryer model used in this recipe works without pre-heating. For more information regarding the use of your air fryer, please check the user manual before cooking any air fryer recipe.
  2. Doneness: Check your green beans’ consistency. The green beans should be crisp-tender after 8 minutes. If you prefer the green beans a bit more tender, give the basket a toss and cook for 2 minutes more.
