- Bake for 10 minutes, flip, then continue baking for 3–7 more minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Notes
- Shortcut 1: Buy your green beans already washed and trimmed.
- Shortcut 2: Use seasoned bread crumbs and skip the ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- If you are making a large amount, use a gallon-sized plastic zipper bag so you can coat a bunch of greens beans at once.
- Dip the fresh green beans in the beaten egg using large tweezers or small tongs (or even a fork) and then transfer to the bread crumb mixture to coat, which helps to keep your bread crumbs from clumping.
- If your coating isn’t sticking well, the green beans may be too wet. Pat them dry thoroughly and gently press the breadcrumbs onto the beans to help them adhere.
- After flipping the green beans, to get them really crispy, you can turn on the broiler for about 2 minutes (just watch them carefully to prevent burning).
- AIR FRYER DIRECTIONS: Preheat the air fryer to 390. Place the breaded green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry for about 5 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Green bean fries are definitely best served immediately.
- Store leftovers in a container in the refrigerator, then reheat them in the oven or toaster oven (not the microwave) to get them crispy again.
