Ingredients

Optional Add-Ons & Extras:

• Chopped green onions or sesame seeds for garnish

• A drizzle of soy sauce or sriracha for extra flavor

• A sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added heat

• A side of steamed rice or crispy tofu for a full meal

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even cooking while keeping the green beans crisp yet tender.

Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Green Beans

1. Remove the sesame green beans from the packaging (set aside any sauce if included).

2. Lightly spray with cooking spray for extra crispiness (optional).

3. Place the green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.

Step 3: Air Fry the Sesame Green Beans

• Cook at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.

• For Extra Crispiness: Increase temperature to 400°F for the last 2 minutes.

Step 4: Toss in Sauce & Serve

1. If a sauce packet is included, warm it by placing it in a bowl of warm water for 3-5 minutes.

2. Once the green beans are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl and toss with the warmed sauce until evenly coated.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

• Garnish with sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, or chopped green onions for extra flavor.

• Serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.

How to Serve P.F. Chang’s Sesame Green Beans

• Classic Asian Style: Serve as a side dish to teriyaki chicken or dumplings.

• Savory Upgrade: Pair with fried rice or lo mein noodles.

• Spicy Kick: Drizzle with extra sriracha or crushed red pepper flakes.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Don’t overcrowd the basket—cook in batches if necessary.

• For extra crispy green beans, cook 2 minutes longer before tossing in the sauce.

• Want a richer sesame flavor? Drizzle with toasted sesame oil before serving.

• For added crunch, sprinkle with crushed peanuts or cashews.
