    Has anyone tried doing step 2-3 in an air fryer? I’m wanting to try onions and almond meal (& flakes???) in a ziploc bag with oil, and then crisp that up in an air fryer. But what temp?

      Where does the almond meal come in?

        Step 3. I believe the ground almonds is the almond flour. Not sure what “flaked almonds “ are.

      Can you please put oven temperatures in Celsius too? You're selling the app to the rest of the world not just the US.

        I don’t love green beans, so I substituted asparagus. Our family loved it! My onions didn’t crisp up, so I might up the temp or broil them next time.

          This was yummy, but the bean to sauce ratio was way off to me. I ended up using 3 cans of green beans (14.5 oz. Each) instead of the fresh green beans.
