  • Storage: Leftover roasted green beans can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer or a hot oven for a few minutes to regain their crispness.
  • Variations: Add other seasonings such as garlic powder, smoked paprika, or Parmesan cheese for added flavor. You can also toss in chopped onions or cherry tomatoes before roasting for a different flavor profile.
  • Optional Add-ins: For an extra flavor boost, consider tossing the green beans with toasted almonds or slivers of crispy bacon before serving.
