GREEN BEANS – Fresh green beans are best for this recipe. Frozen green beans aren’t recommended as they’ll be wet when thawed and could produce a soggy green bean fry.

COATING – You’ll dredge your green beans into whisked eggs to create a base that your coating can adhere to. Almond flour, shredded or grated parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper are used for the coating. You can substitute almond flour with regular all-purpose flour if preferred, and feel free to add in some panko breadcrumbs to the mixture if you’d like!

4. Add the green beans to the air fryer basket lined with a grate, spray lightly with olive oil, and air fry at 400F for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
