Green bean fries are a relatively new invention, but they've quickly become a popular snack and side dish. They're a great way to get your veggies in, and they're also a lot of fun to eat. I first had green bean fries at a restaurant a few years ago, and I was immediately hooked. I loved the crispy exterior and the tender interior, and I thought the lemon-herb aioli was the perfect dipping sauce. I've since made green bean fries at home many times, and I've experimented with different ingredients and cooking methods. I've found that the air fryer is the best way to cook green bean fries because it gives them a crispy exterior without overcooking the interior. I also like to use a combination of olive oil and avocado oil for frying, because it gives the fries a nice flavor. The lemon-herb aioli is a simple but delicious dipping sauce that adds a bright and herbaceous flavor to the fries.
