Description

Coated with a tasty panko-Parmesan crust, these crisp-tender green bean "fries" are served with a spicy Sriracha mayo for dipping.

Ingredients

8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
2 large eggs
1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1/2 cup seasoned panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
olive oil cooking spray
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

1 Wash green beans and dry thoroughly.
2 Whisk together eggs and egg white in a shallow bowl until just frothy. Whisk in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
3 Combine seasoned and regular panko, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and remaining salt and pepper in another shallow bowl; mix well.
4 Coat 1/3 of the beans lightly with the egg mixture, then toss in the bread crumb mixture until well coated. Place in a single layer in an air fryer basket and spray lightly with olive oil spray.
5 Air-fry at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) until beans are golden and crunchy, about 6 minutes.
6 Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to coat and air-fry the remaining beans.
7 Stir together mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lemon juice in a small bowl until well combined. Serve with the air-fried green beans.
