Air Fryer Green Bean Fries

Green bean fries get extra crispy when cooked in the air fryer. Fresh green beans are first parboiled, then seasoned, air fried, and served with a special sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. fresh green beans, trimmed

• 1/2 cup water

• 1 cup flour

• 1 large egg

• 1/3 cup milk

• 2 cups seasoned fine dry bread crumbs

• 1 teaspoon chili powder

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• cooking spray

• lemon wedges for serving

Special Sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 1/4 cup ketchup

• 2 teaspoons mustard

• 1 teaspoons minced sweet or dill pickle

• 1 teaspoon steak seasoning

• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Combine beans and water in a saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil. Cook until beans are bright green and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water.

2. Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees F.

3. Put flour in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together egg and milk. In a third bowl, stir together bread crumbs, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Drain beans and pat dry with paper towels. Toss beans with flour to coat, shaking off excess. Dip into egg mixture and then into bread crumbs to coat, shaking off excess.

4. Working in batches if needed, arrange beans in an even layer in the air fryer basket and lightly coat with cooking spray. Cook, turning once halfway through, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. (If you like, keep fries warm in a 250 degrees F (95 degrees C) oven.)

5. Meanwhile, stir together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, minced pickle, steak seasoning, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl for Special Sauce.

6. Serve green bean fries with Special Sauce and lemon wedges.
