In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each green bean into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

Notes

For extra crispy green beans, use a little cornstarch in the flour mixture. You can substitute panko breadcrumbs with regular breadcrumbs if needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. These are best enjoyed fresh!
