Easy Air Fryer Asian Green Beans

Ingredients

  • 1 lb green beans, trimmed and cut in half
  • 2 T soy sauce
  • 3 tsp. peanut oil
  • 2 tsp. sesame oil

Directions

  1. Take the ends off the green beans, then slice the beans in half. An easy way to handle them is to gather a small bunch, stand them upright on the cutting board, trim one end, flip the bunch, trim the other end, and then cut the beans across the middle.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce with the peanut oil and sesame oil until combined for the cooking sauce.
  3. Transfer the beans to a bowl and toss them with the sauce, making sure the coating gets all around the beans.
  4. Move the beans into the Air Fryer basket with a slotted spoon, or with your fingers if that feels easier, and leave any extra sauce behind in the bowl.
  5. If your Air Fryer is the kind that calls for it, heat it to 400F/200C before cooking.
  6. Cook the beans for about 10-12 minutes, until they are as tender as you like and just beginning to brown. Since Air Fryers vary, start taking a look after 8 minutes.
