Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Parmesan Air Fryer Green Beans
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
  2. Rinse the fresh green beans under cool water and pat them dry.
  3. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with the panko and grated Parmesan mixture.
  4. Dredge each green bean in flour, dip it in beaten eggs, then coat it in the panko-Parmesan mixture.
  5. Arrange the coated green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  6. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  7. Serve immediately after cooking for the ultimate crunch.
