Air Fryer Green Bean Fries (TGI Fridays Copycat)
Description
Crispy, panko-crusted fresh green beans made in the air fryer, inspired by the green bean fries TGI Fridays used to serve. Pair them with copycat cucumber-wasabi ranch for the full restaurant experience.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh green beans, washed, trimmed and patted dry
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, optional
- Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Set up three shallow bowls. In the first, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. In the second, whisk the egg and milk. In the third, combine the panko and Parmesan, if using.
- Dip each green bean in the flour, then the egg mixture, then the panko, pressing gently so the crumbs stick. Shake off the excess at each step.
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil. Arrange the beans in a single layer, not touching, and spray the tops generously.
- Air fry at 390°F for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Work in batches as needed.
- Serve immediately with cucumber-wasabi ranch or your favorite dipping sauce.
Equipment
- 3 shallow bowls (for the dredging station)
- Whisk or fork
- Tongs
- Kitchen towel or paper towels
- Olive oil sprayer or cooking spray
Notes
Dry beans and a single layer are the keys to crunch. Air fryers vary, so check at 5 minutes.
