How to cook Green Beans in an air fryer
- Trim the stem ends but leave the beans whole.
- A light oil coating is enough — beans are thin and burn easily.
- Garlic added at the start will burn; add it in the last 2 minutes.

From frozen, cook for 11–14 minutes at 375°F. Expect softer results than fresh.
