Notes
Meal Prep and Storage
- How to prep ahead of time: Trim the green beans and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days.
- How to store: Keep leftover crispy air fryer green beans in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 5 days.
- How to freeze: Carefully put green beans in a freezer bag or container. If using a bag or plastic wrap, put a layer of aluminum foil around the outside for additional protection. This step keeps air out and reduces freezer burn. For the best results, flash freeze green beans in a single layer first to keep them from bunching together.
- How to reheat: Cook in a skillet over medium heat with additional butter or oil as needed
