Ingredient Substitutions

Fresh green beans: The fresh green beans may be replaced with frozen. To use frozen green beans, air fry for 12-15 minutes. Check the green beans at 12 minutes and adjust the cook time as needed.
Oil: I used olive oil in this recipe, but you may also use coconut oil or avocado oil.

Recipe Notes

Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. If the basket is too full, the green beans will not cook evenly. I love the size and functionality of this ninja air fryer!
If you prefer softer green beans, add a few minutes to the cook time. When making them for my little guys, I usually air fry the green beans for 9-10 minutes to make them more tender.
After removing baby’s portion, toss the green beans with a little salt to taste for everyone else!
