  3. Place the seasoned green beans in the air fryer basket in a single, even layer.
Cooking
  1. Air fry the beans for 5 minutes, then shake the basket to toss the beans gently.
  2. Continue cooking for another 4 minutes, checking for doneness. If needed, cook for an additional minute until desired tenderness is reached.
