Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a medium bowl, combine whole wheat flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the almond milk into a separate shallow bowl and place the panko breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.
Dip each green bean into the flour mixture, then into the almond milk, and finally coat it in the panko breadcrumbs. Place the coated beans on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the coated green beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the beans are golden and crispy.
While the green beans are air-frying, prepare the spicy cucumber ranch dip. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning mix, hot sauce, and chopped fresh dill. Stir until well combined and adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve the crispy green beans immediately with the spicy cucumber ranch dip on the side. Enjoy!
