Notes
Tips for making this recipe:
I used French green beans for this recipe. Regular cut green beans will work too, but remember to trim the ends before cooking them.
Feel free to mix up the vegetables in this dish. Asparagus and Brussels sprouts would be great, but do know that they may take a little longer to cook, so adjust the cooking time as needed.
To store: add to a covered container and refrigerate. Reheat in the air fryer. Eat within 3 days.
