Method
- 1
Trim green beans and pat dry. Set up three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, panko mixed with Parmesan and seasonings.
- 2
Dredge beans in batches: flour, then egg, then panko-Parmesan. Press coating on well.
- 3
Arrange in a single layer. Spray with oil.
- 4
Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crispy.
- 5
Serve immediately with sriracha mayo or ranch.
Pro tip. Work in small batches when breading — wet hands make the coating clump. Keep one hand for wet ingredients and one for dry to stay efficient.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 12 minutes. The same dish takes about 19 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Uses a fraction of the oil of deep frying, which is how this comes in at 130 calories a serving.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
