# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're crispy on the outside and tender inside, yet genuinely feel like the healthy choice you're actually excited to eat.
  • The ranch yogurt dip tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant, but it takes five minutes and lives in your fridge for days.
  • Your air fryer finally gets to do something besides reheat pizza, and kids will actually ask for vegetables.
02 -
  • Wet green beans will steam instead of crisp no matter how long you cook them, so pat them dry like your life depends on it.
  • A light touch with the olive oil spray is key; too much oil defeats the purpose of air frying, but too little and they'll be dry instead of crunchy.
03 -
  • If your first batch browns too fast, lower the temperature by 10 degrees for the next round; every air fryer has its own personality.
  • Arrange green beans with the thin ends pointing toward the center of the basket so they cook at the same rate as the thicker ends.
