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.
