2 Servings
Ingredients
- ½ lb fresh green beans approximately 2 cups, washed, ends trimmed, and dried thoroughly
- ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg beaten
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is essential for achieving a crispy texture.
Prepare the Breading Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and salt. Add optional seasonings, such as garlic powder or red pepper flakes, for additional flavor if desired.
Coat the Green Beans:
- Lightly toss the green beans in the all-purpose flour, ensuring each bean has a thin coating. Next, dip each floured green bean into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll the beans in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
Arrange on a Baking Sheet:
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Arrange the breaded green beans in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap. Proper spacing ensures even crisping.
Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy. Monitor closely during the final minutes to prevent over-browning.
Serve Immediately:
- Once baked, remove the green bean fries from the oven and serve them hot. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, garlic aioli, or spicy sriracha mayo, for an enhanced flavor experience.
