Air Fried French Green Beans
So, this bigger-than-life side dish has been trending online recently and it was impossible to not put my spin on it! The PERFECT side dish that has just the right amount of bite to it. Growing up in a traditional Greek home, my string bean experience consisted of really mushy "fasolakia" drowning in a tomato sauce with potatoes. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but I love this version more! Super versatile, that can be seasoned with your favourite flavours. Try my version and tell me what you think. Don't have an air-fryer? No problem. You can easily just place these babies on a parchment-paper-lined baking tray and pop them in the oven at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes or so. It won't have the same texture, but it'll be equally yummy, I'm sure.
