Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz frozen green beans
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tsp light brown sugar
  • Optional pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

  1. Add the 12 oz frozen green beans directly into your air fryer basket. Distribute them evenly for best results.
  2. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  3. While beans cook, combine 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp butter, and 2 tsp light brown sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Stir well.
  4. Add optional red pepper flakes to the glaze for a hint of heat.
  5. Transfer the crispy air-fried green beans to a clean bowl.
  6. Pour the warm glaze over the green beans and toss gently to coat. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

- Use a good quality soy sauce for the best savory depth.
- Ensure the butter is fully melted before combining with the sugar and soy sauce.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for maximum crispiness.
- Adjust the brown sugar to your desired level of sweetness.
