Step 1

If using fresh green beans, trim the ends and cut them into smaller pieces if desired. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Coat each green bean by dipping it first into the flour mixture, followed by the egg mixture, and then the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 4

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with a little oil. Arrange the coated green beans in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between them for even cooking. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the green beans are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

Once crispy, remove the green beans from the air fryer. Optionally drizzle with soy sauce or serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy these crispy green beans as a tasty appetizer or side dish!
