Ingredients
Green Bean Fries
-
1 cup whole wheat panko or breadcrumbs
-
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
2 large eggs
-
1/4 cup flour

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2–3 inch pieces
-
Cooking oil spray

Instructions
Air Fryer Method
-
Prep the coating:
Mix panko, salt, and garlic powder in one bowl.
Whisk eggs in a second bowl.
Place flour in a third bowl. -
Bread the beans:
Dip green beans into flour → egg → breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly. -
Air fry:
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (205°C).
Arrange beans in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
Spray lightly with oil and cook 6–8 minutes, until crisp and golden. -
Make the dip:
Stir mustard and honey together in a small bowl. -
Serve:
Enjoy warm with honey mustard dipping sauce.
Oven Method
-
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
(Place a wire rack over the sheet if available for extra crispiness.) -
Prepare breading bowls as described above.
-
Coat green beans in flour, egg, then breadcrumbs.
-
Arrange beans in a single layer without touching. Spray lightly with oil.
-
Bake 15 minutes, until golden and crisp.
-
Mix honey and mustard for dipping and serve immediately.
Notes
-
Dry the beans first: Moisture prevents crispiness — pat dry with a towel if needed.
-
Don’t overcrowd: Space allows hot air to circulate for crunch.
-
Freezer-friendly:
-
Freeze breaded beans on a tray for 30 minutes.
-
Transfer to a zip-top bag and freeze up to 1 month.
-
Cook straight from frozen; add 2–3 minutes to cook time.
-
-
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer at 375°F to re-crisp.
