Ingredients

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko preferred for extra crispiness)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures even cooking and crispiness.

Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse and trim the green beans. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure the batter adheres well.

Set Up Breading Station: In three separate bowls, prepare your breading station:

- In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper.

- In the second bowl, beat the two large eggs.

- In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Bread the Green Beans:

- Dip each trimmed green bean first into the flour, shaking off excess.

- Next, dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off.

- Finally, roll the green bean in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Repeat until all the green beans are coated.

Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the green bean fries in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to do this in batches.

Air Fry the Green Beans: Spray the tops of the green bean fries lightly with cooking spray to help them crisp up. Cook in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. Adjust the time if needed until golden brown and crispy.

Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the green bean fries from the air fryer. Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (like ranch or spicy mayo).
