How to trim green beans
Trimming green beans is pretty easy. Place the beans on a cutting board with the stems lined up. Using a knife, cut across the top of all the beans until the stems are removed. Alternatively, you may be able to purchase green beans that have already been washed and trimmed at the store.

Great recipe but changed 2 items. I used frozen green beans cause that is what I had on hand and baked them in my air fryer which was a lot faster. Baked them at 425 for 8 minutes on one side, turned them over and baked them for another 5 minutes. Yum!!!!! Love that you have recipies for 2 as there is only me. Thank you so much.
