Black Bean Garlic Green Beans
By :Coco Morante
Recipe by Coco Morante from The Ultimate Air Fryer Oven Cookbook

Black bean garlic sauce is one of my favorite condiments to have on hand. It packs so much savory, salty flavor that one table- spoon will season an entire pound of green beans! I will often make a weeknight dinner out of these with some rice cooked in the Instant Pot and Sesame-Soy Tofu.
