Air Fryer Method

Mix the panko, salt and garlic powder in a bowl. Whisk the egg in a separate bowl. Place the flour in another bowl.

Make an assembly line with the three bowls, first dipping the green beans into the flour, then the egg and finally into the bread crumb mixture, coating the beans evenly and repeating with the remainder of the beans.

Set air fryer to 400°F. Place the green beans in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Spray with oil and air fry for 6–8 minutes, or until crisp and golden.

Meanwhile, make the honey mustard by combining mustard and honey in a bowl. Serve green bean fries with dipping sauce and enjoy!

Oven Method

Preheat oven to 450°F and coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. If you have a wire rack, you can put that above your baking sheet for extra crispiness.

Mix the panko, salt and garlic powder in a bowl. Whisk the egg in a separate bowl. Place the flour in another bowl.

Place all of the coated green beans on the baking sheet (or on a rack above a baking sheet.) Arrange beans so that they’re not touching, spray with oil and bake for 15 minutes or until the bread crumbs are golden.

Make the sauce. Combine the honey and mustard in a bowl and stir well. Serve beans with dipping sauce and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Dry for Maximum Crispiness 💧
After washing fresh green beans, thoroughly pat them completely dry with paper towels before breading—moisture is the enemy of crispiness and prevents the coating from adhering properly.
Double-Dredge Technique 🥚
Dip green beans in egg mixture, then breadcrumbs, then back into egg and breadcrumbs again for an extra-thick, supremely crunchy exterior that rivals fried versions.
Freeze Before Cooking 🧊
For optimal texture, arrange breaded green beans on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours (or overnight) before cooking—this creates a better contrast between the crispy exterior and tender interior.
Air Fryer Temperature Optimization 🌡️
Cook at 400°F in the air fryer for just 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through; this higher heat creates superior crispiness compared to oven-baking and requires no oil spray.
Honey Mustard Balance Strategy 🍯
Use a 2:1 ratio of honey to mustard, and add a splash of apple cider vinegar to cut the sweetness and create a more sophisticated, restaurant-quality dipping sauce that complements the salty fries.
