- At the beginning of the year, we always like
0:02
to do something a little bit lighter
0:03
and we always like to incorporate the air fryer.
0:05
So today I'm gonna do a really great and simple
0:09
and light green bean air fryer recipe for you.
0:15
And it's gonna be a little bit spicy.
0:19
and you wanna serve it to the kids,
0:20
maybe dial back a little bit on the pepper,
0:22
but you're really gonna like this.
0:24
And it starts with some pretty simple ingredients here.
0:28
I've got breadcrumbs, I've got eggs, I've got flour,
0:31
and I've got my fresh green beans.
0:33
So you can imagine that I'm gonna have a little
0:34
dredging station going here.
0:38
So I'm gonna start with combining my flour
0:42
and my cayenne and my chili powder
0:47
and some house seasoning.
0:51
I'm just gonna mix these ingredients to get,
0:54
I think I'm going to use a fork
0:55
and save my whisk for the eggs.
0:57
So I'm just gonna go ahead and mix these
0:59
things together here.
1:02
This is a good way to get your kids in the kitchen.
1:06
Dredging stations are, you know, fun if you've never done it
1:10
before and they're not fun
1:13
and they're a mess if you've done it a million times.
1:15
So this would be a good time maybe to get the kids in
1:17
and get them excited about something
1:20
and give them some ownership.
1:22
So I'm gonna go ahead and put my flour mixture
1:26
into my shallow dish here.
1:41
And I don't have to scramble them
1:45
for restaurant scrambled egg quality.
1:47
I just wanna lightly beat them.
1:52
And then my seasoned breadcrumbs down here on the end.
1:54
Air fryer is man alive.
1:56
I tell you what, I've gotten to where I really lean on mine
2:01
so much and they're becoming,
2:04
they're pretty ubiquitous.
2:06
I think that they're making them now in a lot
2:10
of the new ovens and microwaves.
2:12
They also are air fryers, which is pretty cool to me.
2:17
I use mine a lot at the house.
2:18
It's a good clean way to cook.
2:20
So I'm gonna start out with just a couple
2:21
of green beans here and we'll go into our flour mixture.
2:33
And then from there to the eggs.
2:44
Yeah, this is fun for kids. This is just a mess for me.
2:48
I'm just, oh, I don't love working in dredging stations.
2:52
I think I've just done too many.
2:56
Yeah, I just wanna make sure that my green beans
2:58
are kinda coated and these look nice.
3:05
Yeah, that looks pretty nice.
3:07
And then I'm just gonna put 'em on my lined
3:09
parchment sheet over here.
3:12
These parchment sheets are also,
3:14
I've got them in gross at my house.
3:18
They just really save the day.
3:20
They keep the bottom of your air fryer nice and clean
3:26
and just help to make the cleanup a lot easier for sure.
3:29
So that's my first little batch of green beans.
3:31
I'm gonna keep working, but while I do, we'll take a break
3:33
and then we will come back.
3:35
The green beans look great.
3:37
This is after the dredging station with the flour
3:39
and then into the egg
3:40
and then into the seasoned breadcrumbs.
3:42
They look really, really nice.
3:43
We're gonna pop 'em in the air fryer for about four
3:45
or five minutes, 400, and we'll open the basket
3:49
and shake it a little bit.
3:50
And then we'll spray them with a little bit
3:52
of extra virgin olive oil
3:53
and pop 'em in for another five minutes.
3:55
So this is gonna be total of about 10 minutes
3:57
and they will be excellent.
4:01
Well everybody, our green beans turned out
4:02
really nice looking and in the air fryer,
4:06
rather than pan frying
4:08
or frying in a deep fryer like my mother has,
4:11
we've saved lots and lots of calories and fat.
4:15
And I'll be the judge of how good they are.
4:18
So why don't we do that right now?
4:22
I know you're jealous and you and you.
4:26
Ooh, green beans still got a little snap
4:33
Air fryer's good for that.
4:36
that I really lean on my air fryer.
4:37
I cook so many things in it all the time.
4:40
Either potatoes or fish or steak, burgers.
4:45
Air fryer's super reliable, great way to cook.
4:48
These are really good.
4:50
this has got a little bit of cayenne pepper in it,
4:51
but it's super forgiving.
4:52
I maybe dial it back for the kids,
4:54
but the recipe is really good.
4:59
So make some at home. I think you'll like 'em.
5:03
Air fryer, green beans.
5:07
Eat all you want. We'll make more.
