Ingredients
- About 25 fresh green beans rinsed and dried
- 1 egg

- ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese style breadcrumbs)
- ¼ cup regular whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 TBS grated parmesan cheese
- ½ TBS garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
-
Prep the green beans: rinse and dry them thoroughly. Cut off any funky looking ends.
-
Add egg and egg white to one shallow bowl; whisk for 30 seconds to completely combine. Set aside.
-
In another shallow bowl, add panko, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, cheese, salt, and pepper; stir to mix well and set aside.
-
Make an assembly line with the green beans, then egg dip, then breadcrumb mixture setup side by side.
-
Taking a handful of green beans at a time, drop them into the egg, and toss around until coated. Using tongs, lift a few of the green beans out, let them drip a bit, then place into the breadcrumb coating mixture. Shake the green beans around until the are fully coated with crumbs.
-
Place them side by side with a little space in the air fryer, then repeat coating for the rest of the green beans, and set into air fryer.

Recipe Notes
How to BAKE Green Bean Fries:
- Use the same directions in terms of prepping and coating the green beans. Set the oven to 350 degrees F. Place green bean fries on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cook for 15 minutes, then flip over. Cook 5-7 more minutes or until crispy. To crisp coating further, turn oven to broil on HIGH and broil for 1-2 minutes or until browned. Serve hot!
