Air Fryer TGIF Friday’s Green Bean Fries

Air Fryer TGIF Friday’s Green Bean Fries was one of the most popular appetizers ordered in TGIF’s, they discontinued them a few years back, but with your air fryer, you can surprise your family and whip up a batch.

These are the perfect snack and tailgating snack. I made a batch this weekend while my family was watching some football.

If you love a great fried green bean coated with bread crumbs and garlic, this is the perfect snack for you. I love a great crispy treat, so much better than serving regular old potato chips, and with your air fryer, you can totally serve these up in an instant.

I served these with the Copycat TGIF Creamy Cucumber-Wasabi Ranch Dip, and my kids loved them. But truthfully, I think my kids love anything that they can dip.

These we so easy to prepare. The air fryer does an amazing job of crisping up the breaded green bean. You get the crunchy part on the outside, but a great and delious flavor of the green bean on the inside. Such an easy way to get your child to eat his or her vegetables!

Ingredients Used:

• Fresh Green Beans
• All-Purpose Flour
• Milk
• Egg
• Bread Crumbs
• Seasonings: Salt, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder
• Olive Oil Spray

How To Make Air Fryer TGIF Friday’s Green Bean Fries

Start by setting up your dredging stations. In one bowl, mix the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix your egg and mix, and in the last bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

Dip your green bean into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally the breadcrumb mixture.

Make sure to shake off any excess as you bread your green beans. Otherwise, as you air fry it, it will clump up.

Spray your basket with olive oil. Place your breaded green beans into the basket, single layer, and not touching. Generously spray the coating with olive oil so that it can crisp up.

Set the temperature to 390 degrees F, for 3 minutes.

COMMON QUESTIONS ASKED ABOUT AIR FRYER TGIF FRIDAY’S GREEN BEAN FRIES

CAN I MAKE THESE IN THE OVEN?

Yes, prepare them, and then instead of putting them into the air fryer, place them into a preheated 425 degrees F, for 12-15 minutes.

Making them in the oven is a great idea if you make a huge batch of them for a party or get-together.

CAN I MAKE USE FROZEN GREEN BEANS?

Unfortunately, frozen green beans will not work because when they thaw, they will be too wet. I recommend that you purchase fresh green beans for this recipe, which are available year-round at most grocery stores.

Another option would be to use canned green beans, but you would really need to drain them well and dry them on a paper towel before breading them.
