Instructions

Trim the green beans and ensure they are completely dry to prevent the coating from sliding off.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, cornstarch, flour, and spices until smooth.
Add the beans and toss vigorously with your hands to coat each bean with a thin, translucent layer. Add more oil if the mixture is too thick.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
Place the beans in the air fryer basket, overlapping slightly but not filling more than halfway.
Cook at 400°F for 5 minutes. Shake the basket well and spray generously with cooking spray.
Reduce temperature to 350°F and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the beans are stiff and the coating is golden and crispy.
Serve immediately.
