Now that football season is underway, I am always looking for some great snacks and appetizers to munch on while I am watching the action. Sure, I’ve got a lot of delicious Tailgating Recipes and Game Day Appetizers to munch on, but sometimes I’m looking for something just a little healthier. This is where the Air Fryer comes in handy!

What is an Air Fryer?

If you haven’t already jumped on the Air Fryer train, let me tell you all about it. An Air Fryer is a small kitchen appliance that uses very hot, fast moving air to cook food. This results in food tasting like it has been traditionally fried but using usually just a very small amount of oil. So you get that crispy outside and tender inside without all the guilt! They are light, small and easy to use and store. They fit right on your counter top and are simple to slip back in your pantry or cupboard when not in use. Some of my favorite recipes are Air Fryer Beef Fried Rice  and these Honey Sriracha Air Fryer Chicken Wings. But there are a ton of other great recipes too!

Air Fryer Green Beans

A great little side dish or snack is there Air Fryer Green Beans. If you don’t want to have normal french fries, these Air Fryer Green Bean Fries are the perfect substitute. They are crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside and they look great on your plate! You can also dip them in just about anything, but I love to dip them in this Habanero Ranch from TessieMae’s.

They are super simple to make and only have a handful of ingredients.

Air Fryer Green Beans Ingredients:

• 2 cups of Green Beans
• 1 egg (stirred)
• 1 cup of flour
• 1 cup of Panko Bread Crumbs
• 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
• 1 Tbsp Onion Powder
• 1/2 Tbsp Salt
• 1/2 Tbsp Pepper
• green onions, diced

Air Fryer Green Beans Instructions:

• Preheat the Air Fryer to 375 Degrees
• Mix together the Panko Bread crumbs with the Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt and Pepper
• Dip the Green Beans into the egg
• Coat with Flour
• Dip back into the egg
• Coat with Panko Bread crumbs
• Cook at 375 degrees for 8 minutes or until the outside has a crispy golden crust.
• Top with Green Onions

Can you make a Keto/Whole 30/Gluten Free Version of this?

Absolutely! You can certainly sub Almond Flour, Arrowroot Flour or Buckwheat Flour for the regular flour. There really are a ton of options for this. You should also be able to find some Gluten-Free Panko Bread Crumbs at your local grocery store, like this product from Kikkoman. So, this Air Fryer Green Beans Recipe can really fit into any diet! But, no matter what your diet is, this is a great opportunity to liven things up a little bit and get some veggies on your (and your kids) plate!

Enjoy!
