Tips
Depending upon the type and the size of the beans– like Green Beans, String Beans, or French Beans, air frying time will vary. This recipe uses french beans and they were ready at about 7 minutes. For a thicker variety of beans add another 2-3 minutes of cooking time.
To speed up the process further, buy trimmed green beans. This will save you at least 5 minutes on busier days.
For crispy beans to be roasted evenly – Do not overcrowd the air fryer.
