I am always looking for creative ways to get my kids to eat their vegetables. Honestly, Ari will eat anything we put in front of him. But the girls are a different story. While Remy will eat plain old brocoli (which is weird, right?), she won’t touch other vegetables. Like, at all. My air fryer helps me pull out all the stunts (and get the kids to eat!) with this garlic parmesan green bean fries recipe.
What you’ll need to make Garlic Parmesan Green Bean Fries
As mentioned before, this recipe is super simple. But the one item you’ll want to be sure you have for this is an air fryer. My favorite can be found here. I truly don’t recommend baking these instead of air frying. They just won’t be as crisp as they should be.
The other ingredients you’ll need are the following:
- a pound of fresh green beans
- flour
- shredded parmesan
- minced garlic
- pepper
- salt
- and eggs
That’s it! The dredging and coating are really straight forward. Just be sure you grease the air fryer basket with your favorite cooking spray before placing the green beans in.
Additionally, be sure to serve it with your favorite dipping sauce. I really like a spicy aioli, but my kids prefer ketchup (because, of course).

You can put garlic parmesan on pretty much anything and I will at least try it! It’s my favorite flavor! This sounds amazing!
I’m always on the hunt for ways to make my green beans more flavorful…this is genius!!
How utterly delicious these look! Such a creative take on serving green beans. I hope my daughter will love them, she is fussy with veggies too.
These look simple to make and good! Now I need an air fryer!
OMG I had no idea that you could make fries out of green beans, but I suppose you can make fries out of everything. Looks so crispy good!
