Notes

Air fryer green bean fries

Transforming your French Style Green Beans with Almondine Sauce into crispy fries in an air fryer is a delightful idea. Here's how you can do it:

Ingredients for Crispy Green Bean Fries:

  • 2 cups (200 grams) canned French style green beans, drained and patted dry
  • 1/4 cup (30 grams) slivered almonds (optional, for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil (for coating)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt 
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 

Air fryer green beans Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Green Beans: Ensure that the canned green beans are well-drained and patted dry with paper towels. Moisture can interfere with the crisping process.
3. Coat with Olive Oil: In a mixing bowl, toss the drained green beans with olive oil until they are evenly coated. This will help them become crispy in the air fryer.
4. Season: Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add any preferred seasoning or herbs at this stage for extra flavor.
5. Air Fry: Place the coated green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be careful not to overcrowd to ensure even crisping. You may need to cook them in batches if necessary.
6. Cooking Time: Air fry the green beans at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket or tossing the beans halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking; they should become golden brown and crispy.
7. Optional Topping: While the green beans are cooking, you can toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet on the stovetop until they're lightly golden.
8. Serve: Once the green beans are crispy and golden, remove them from the air fryer. If you toasted almonds, sprinkle them over the green bean fries for added texture and flavor.
9. Enjoy: Serve your crispy green bean fries immediately as a crunchy and satisfying snack or side dish. They pair perfectly with your choice of dipping sauce.
These crispy green bean fries make for a delightful and healthier alternative to traditional potato fries, and they maintain the delicious almondine flavors of your original recipe. Enjoy the crispy goodness!
