Green beans, also known as string beans, are rich in vitamins K and C, and they also contain a good amount of calcium and protein. They are also a good source of fiber. I love air-frying roasted vegetables like beets, butternut squash, carrots, and zucchini in my Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer. They are super quick to make and are crowd-pleasing side dishes. Today I am sharing cooking green beans in the air fryer. They are easy, healthy, tender, and roasted to perfection in the air fryer.
