I forgot to make it, and I'm supposed to be going to my in laws in about 20 mins with supper Can't Believe It

We can go later if need be, just wondering if I can speed up the process by putting them in the microwave? They're in the oven on high now!

I have an air fryer but cbb dirtying it just for some green beans.

All it needs is 8 minutes on 400, spread out thinly on a cookie sheet in the oven.
Good luck!

Thanks! I microwaved them first for 3 minutes, now they're in the oven with the rest of the supper. Phew. I'm normally more organised!

I make them all the time in there. I usually do 4 min in a little water with my microwave, then dump the water.

I always do it in the microwave. I put a bit of vinegar, oil and spices and microwave for approx 5 mins. Comes out great. It doesn't get crispy like it would in the oven, but that's fine with me. Sometimes I steam them with just a bit of water.
