Instructions

1. Prep the green beans: Wash and thoroughly dry the green beans. Trim the ends if needed.
2. Set up the breading station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and in a third bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the beans: Dredge each green bean in flour, dip in egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place on a tray.
4. Preheat air fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it heat for 3 minutes.
5. Air fry: Lightly spray the basket with oil. Arrange green beans in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Lightly spray the tops with oil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
6. Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

• For extra crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs.
• Make sure green beans are completely dry before breading to prevent sogginess.
• If breading isn’t sticking well, try chilling the coated beans for 10 minutes before air frying.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.

Directions:

1. Prep the green beans: Wash and trim the green beans, ensuring they are dry before coating.
2. Set up breading stations: In three shallow bowls, place the flour in the first, beat the eggs in the second, and combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third.
3. Coat the green beans: Dredge each green bean in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it in the beaten eggs. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the coating stick.
4. Air fry the green beans: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the breaded green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren’t overlapping. Lightly spray them with olive oil spray.
5. Cook: Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
6. Serve: Once done, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

When to Flip Crispy Green Bean Fries

Flip the green beans halfway through the cooking process, around the 4-5 minute mark, to ensure even crispiness on both sides.

How to Reheat Crispy Green Bean Fries

To reheat leftover green bean fries, place them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it may make them soggy.

Can You Save Batter Crispy Green Bean Fries?

If you have leftover egg mixture or breadcrumbs, they can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day, though it’s best to prepare fresh batches as needed for optimal texture and flavor.

Can You Freeze Crispy Green Bean Fries?

You can freeze the breaded green beans before air frying. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to cook, air fry directly from frozen at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Editor’s Note:

For added flavor, try mixing in different seasonings like cayenne pepper for a bit of heat, or swap the panko with crushed cornflakes for an extra crispy texture. These green bean fries are a great way to sneak more veggies into your diet without sacrificing flavor!
