7. Air fry at 390°F for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking halfway through, or bake at 425°F for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, or deep fry at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and crisp.

Notes
Dry the green beans well before breading so the coating sticks better.
Do not overcrowd the basket, pan, or baking sheet or the beans will not crisp properly.
Serve immediately for the best texture and crunch.
