Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Panko or regular bread crumbs (Panko ensures a crisper texture)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (adds a savory flavor boost)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (introduces a mild spicy kick)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for seasoning)
  • 1 1/2 lbs green beans, trimmed (the star of the dish, providing vitamins, fiber, and crunch)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (helps to adhere the coatings to the beans)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten (acts as a binding agent for the breadcrumbs)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coating: In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of cayenne. Mix these ingredients until evenly distributed. Add salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  2. Dredge the Beans: Layout the flour on a plate. In a separate bowl, have the beaten eggs ready. Working in batches, first dredge the green beans in flour, ensuring a light coat.
  3. Egg Wash: Dip the floured beans into the eggs. Use a slotted spoon or fork to lift the beans, letting any excess egg drip off.
  4. Bread the Beans: Place the egg-dipped beans into the bread crumb mixture. Toss gently, pressing slightly to coat thoroughly.
  5. Bake: Arrange the coated beans on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp.
  6. Serve: Enjoy these crispy delights fresh out of the oven, ideally while warm and crunchy.

Notes

  • Seasoning Variations: Feel free to experiment with different spices in your breadcrumb mixture, such as garlic powder or smoked paprika, for an extra flavor kick.
  • Serving Suggestions: These green bean fries pair beautifully with a variety of dips, including ranch dressing, aioli, or a simple yogurt-based dip.
