Notes
*Air Fryer Cook Time: This recipe was tested in a Breville oven-style air fryer which tends to run a bit hotter than a basket-style. If using oven-style 6-7 minutes worked well for us. If using a basket-style, cook time will most likely be closer to 7-9 minutes.
Storage: store leftover green beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
