Ingredients

  • 16 ounces fresh green beans trimmed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Start by trimming the ends of the green beans. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial for ensuring the coating adheres properly.
  • In one mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy. In a third bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
  • Take a handful of green beans and dip them into the flour, ensuring they are fully coated. Shake off any excess flour, then dip the beans into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, roll the green beans in the panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick well.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step ensures even cooking and crispiness for your Air Fryer Fried Green Beans.
  • Place the coated green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The beans should be golden brown and crispy when done.
  • Once the green beans are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are.
