This is a creative idea. I'm not too fond of canned green beans or string beans as we call them in Jamaica. A few years ago, I purchased vegetable chips that included green beans. It was terrific. I tried air-frying the whole-cut green beans, which turned out very crispy. I know yours were just as good. Thanks for sharing this cool idea.
Amy says
Thank you! I love how they turned out with some crispiness to them.
