Air Fryer Green Bean Fries
Description
This recipe for Air Fryer Green Bean Fries starts with fresh, trimmed green beans coated lightly in flour, then dipped into a mixture of egg and olive oil. They are then rolled in a seasoned panko breadcrumb blend with garlic powder and Italian seasoning, which creates a flavorful, crisp exterior when air fried at 400°F. The air fryer cooks the coated beans evenly and quickly, resulting in a crunchy outside with the tender green bean inside.
The seasoning mix enhances the natural green bean flavor without overpowering it, offering an herby and savory note. After air frying for 5-8 minutes, the green beans are golden and crisp, ready to serve either plain or with dips.
The fries are an appealing alternative to traditional fries or vegetable sides, providing a lighter crunchy snack or appetizer. They pair well with various dipping sauces and can be served warm immediately.

- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
