Green Beans: What Are They & Where to Get Them?
As used in this delicious recipe, these green beans, sometimes known as “snake beans,” are significantly longer and less sweet and crunchy than conventional green beans.
Although they are more likely to be found in Asian markets, I made this recipe with regular green beans from my local Kroger.
You can use any method; just make sure you’re using fresh beans.
Can I Use Frozen Green Beans?
For this recipe, I recommend using fresh green beans if possible. You may also use frozen, but you’ll need to add a couple of minutes to the cooking time.
Sesame Oil: What is it & Why Should it be Used?
Sesame oil has a delicious nutty scent and flavor. Although I prefer toasted sesame oil, any would suffice.
This not only adds a little fat to help the air fryer work wonderfully, other than it also adds a burst of flavor. I recommend not using any other oil in place of this.
Important Tips:
It is important not to overcrowd these green beans in the air fryer basket; if necessary, cook them in batches.
For the most incredible texture, serve immediately after cooking.
What Other Seasonings Can I Use?
Stir these green beans with balsamic vinegar, pepper, garlic powder, and salt for more seasoning possibilities.
Try cumin powder and onion powder with red chili flakes if you like them to be spicier.
