Instructions

Prepare the Green Beans:
- Rinse and pat dry the green beans. Trim off the stem ends.
-
Set Up the Breading Station:
- In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
- In another shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Bread the Green Beans:
- Dip each green bean into the beaten eggs, coating well.
- Transfer to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
-
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (199°C) for 5 minutes.
-
Cook the Green Bean Fries:
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Arrange the breaded green beans in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry for 5 minutes, then shake the basket or flip the beans. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Baking Option: If you don’t have an air fryer, bake at 425°F (218°C) for 12-15 minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spraying lightly with oil.
- Gluten-Free Alternative: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs instead of panko.
- Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes to crisp them back up.
