Put flour in one bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In a third bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Drain the beans and pat them dry with paper towels. Toss the beans in the flour to coat, shaking off any excess. Dip them into the egg mixture, then into the bread crumbs to coat, shaking off any excess.

Working in batches if needed, arrange the beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket and lightly spray with cooking spray. Cook, turning once halfway through, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. (If you like, keep the fries warm in a 250 degrees F (95 degrees C) oven.)
