Steps

  1. 01Wash and trim the stem ends. The pointed tail end is fine to leave on.
  2. 02Toss with oil and seasoning.
  3. 03Ready for the air fryer. Shake the basket at least once during cooking.
Don't overcook green beans. They should be tender-crisp with blistered, slightly charred skin. Overdone green beans are limp, army-green, and taste like the canned ones you avoided as a kid. Check them 2 minutes before the food page time and pull them when they still have a snap when you bite.
