tips to make Air Fryer Green Bean Fries

Dry the beans well before coating to help the coating stick.
Don’t crowd the basket. Work in batches for even crisping.
Use a light spray of oil for better browning.
If the coating falls off, press the almond mix onto the beans before air frying.
Check at 8 minutes and add time if needed for your air fryer.

variation (if any)

Use panko or crushed pork rinds instead of almond flour for different textures.
Add 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika for a smoky taste.
Try Parmesan mixed with the almond flour for extra flavor.
For a gluten-free option, keep almond flour. For a nut-free option, use crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs if not avoiding gluten.
