Ingredients

  • 1 cup - whole wheat panko or breadcrumbs
  • ½ tsp - kosher salt
  • ½ tsp - garlic powder
  • 2 - eggs
  • ¼ cup - flour
  • 1 lb - fresh green beans
  • cooking oil spray
  • ¼ cup - mustard
  • 1 tbsp - honey

Instructions

  1. Mix the panko, salt and garlic powder in a bowl. Whisk the egg in a separate bowl. Place the flour in another bowl.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Meanwhile, make the honey mustard by combining mustard and honey in a bowl. Serve green bean fries with dipping sauce and enjoy!
  5. 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.
  6. Mix the panko, salt and garlic powder in a bowl. Whisk the egg in a separate bowl. Place the flour in another bowl.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Make the sauce. Combine the honey and mustard in a bowl and stir well. Serve beans with dipping sauce and enjoy!
