Notes

Notes:

To make this into a side dish rather than an appetizer, simply double the amount of green beans and oil. Make the sauce recipe as is but instead of serving it alongside the beans, drizzle it over the top right before serving.
Sprinkle beans with toasted sesame seeds an an optional garnish.
To make these air fryer green beans vegan, use a vegan mayo in the dip.
If you have a smaller air fryer, you may need to fry them in two batches. You want to fry them in one even layer.
Enjoy!
