Air Fryer Green Bean Fries
Description
Air Fryer Green Bean Fries begin with fresh green beans that are rinsed, dried, and trimmed. They are dipped into a mixture of whole egg and egg white, then coated with a blend of panko breadcrumbs, whole wheat breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This combination creates a seasoned crust that complements the green beans’ freshness.
The fries are placed evenly in the air fryer basket and cooked at 400°F for about 7 minutes total, tossing partway through to ensure even crisping. The air frying method crisps the coating while keeping the green beans tender inside, resulting in a snack with a contrast of textures.
The recipe also includes a baking alternative using a 350°F oven to achieve similar crispiness with a final broil step to brown the coating. These green bean fries can be served hot as a snack, appetizer, or side dish, offering a satisfying way to enjoy vegetables with a crunchy twist.
The recipe was updated to include these cooking options and serves as a versatile preparation for green beans that avoids deep frying.
Ingredients
- About 25 fresh green beans rinsed and dried
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese style breadcrumbs)
- ¼ cup whole wheat breadcrumbs regular
- 2 TBS Parmesan Cheese grated
- ½ TBS garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Notes
- To bake instead of air frying, cook green bean fries at 350°F for 15 minutes, flip, then cook 5-7 more minutes until crispy.
- For extra crispiness when baking, broil fries on high for 1-2 minutes after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Prepare green beans by rinsing, drying, and trimming before coating for best results.
- Use panko and whole wheat breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan and seasoning to create a flavorful, crunchy coating.
- This recipe was updated for clarity and cooking options as of November 2022.
