CRISPIEST GREEN BEAN FRIES | Delicious Fall Side Dish with Air Fryer + Oven Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees for 8 minutes.

In a large bowl, add 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Mix together and set aside.

In another medium bowl, add 2 eggs and whisk until well combined.

Trim the ends off of 2 cups of green beans, leaving them whole.

In a large bowl, toss the green beans with 1/4 cup of flour.

Coat each green bean in the egg mixture, then coat in the panko mixture.

Transfer the coated green beans to the air fryer basket and season generously with salt and pepper. Spray with avocado oil cooking spray.

Air fry the green beans for 5 minutes, then remove the basket, toss the beans gently, and air fry for another 5 minutes until crispy and golden.

For the oven method, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Trim and coat the green beans in flour, dip in the egg mixture, and coat in the panko mixture as before.

Transfer the coated green beans to a parchment-lined baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, and spray with cooking spray.

Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the coating is brown and crispy, watching carefully to avoid burning.

To make garlic mayo, blend together 1/4 cup of unsweetened plain soy milk, 1/2 cup of sunflower oil, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, and 2 cloves of minced garlic until emulsified into a mayo-like sauce.

Store green bean fries in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat in a 400 degree oven for 5 to 7 minutes.
