Air Fryer Green Beans with Garlic Aioli
These are great as an appetizer during happy hour. Use the left-over aioli for sandwiches, roasted veggies or anything you desire. Serves 2 to 4.
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
Ingredients
For the green beans:
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp Sigona’s Fresh Press extra virgin olive oil
- Salt to taste
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 lb. fresh green beans such as Blue Lake beans, ends trimmed
- 1 cup dry breadcrumbs we recommend Italian seasoned
- 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano leave out for a dairy-free option
For the garlic aioli:
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 tsp Dijon
- 1/2 cup Sigona’s garlic olive oil see note
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- For the beans: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, olive oil and salt. Rinse and shake dry; it’s best if a little water remains as it helps the flour to better adhere.
- In another bowl, toss the green beans in the flour.
- Pour the egg mixture into a medium-sized shallow plate. Add the breadcrumbs and cheese to a separate plate, stir to mix.
- Line the basket or tray of an air fryer with foil.
- Working with one bean at a time, dip the beans in the egg mixture then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture. Lay the beans out in a single layer on the air fryer tray. Depending on the size of the tray or basket, you might need to cook them in batches.
- Air fry the beans for 8 to 10 minutes.
- For the aioli: add the egg, lemon juice, garlic and Dijon to the bowl of a food processor or the pitcher of a blender. Run for about 30 seconds to combine the ingredients.
- With the blade running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil so the mixture emulsifies and becomes thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a small bowl and chill until ready to serve.
