Green Bean Fries Recipes

GREEN BEAN "FRIES"

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add the oil and heat another minute.
• Scatter the beans evenly in the pan and sprinkle with the salt (see Cook's Note). Allow the beans to cook undisturbed until browned, blistered and beginning to split on the first side, about 3 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spatula, flip the beans and continue to cook another 2 minutes. Flip one more time and cook until all the beans have a good amount of golden brown, an additional minute. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve with your favorite dip or simply with a squeeze of lemon.

BAKED GREEN BEAN FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Spray a large baking pan with cooking spray.
• Mix the panko, Parmesan, onion powder, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a wide, shallow bowl. Whisk the eggs and milk together in another shallow bowl.
• Toss the green beans in the flour. Working a few green beans at a time, shake off the excess flour and dip in the egg. Let the excess egg drip off and then toss in the panko, patting firmly so the crumbs adhere. Arrange the breaded green beans in a single layer in the prepared baking pan and spray thoroughly with cooking spray.
• Bake until golden brown and crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.

ALMOST-FAMOUS GREEN BEAN FRIES

Steps:

• Make the dip: Puree the dressing, cucumber, horseradish, milk, vinegar, wasabi powder, cayenne pepper, and salt to taste in a blender until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Prepare the beans: Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring the broth to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Add the green beans and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the beans with a slotted spoon and transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking. Let cool in the water, then drain and pat dry.
• Whisk the egg and milk in a shallow bowl. Put 1/2 cup flour in another shallow bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs, the remaining 1/2 cup flour, the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste in another bowl.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the green beans in the flour and shake off the excess. One at a time, dip the beans in the egg mixture, dredge in the breadcrumb mixture and lay on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze until the coating is set, about 30 minutes.
• Heat 3 inches oil in a deep pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Fry the green beans in batches until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the beans with tongs or a skimmer to a rack or paper towels to drain. Serve with the dip.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep fryer or electric skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine the green beans and water in a saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook until the beans are bright green, about 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Cover with cold water and set aside.
• In one bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. In a separate bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Drain the green beans and toss with flour to coat, shaking off the excess. Dip the beans into the egg mixture and then into the bread crumbs, coating thoroughly.
• Fry beans in batches so they are not touching. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

• Combine seasoned and regular panko, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and remaining salt and pepper in another shallow bowl; mix well.
• Coat 1/3 of the beans lightly with the egg mixture, then toss in the bread crumb mixture until well coated. Place in a single layer in an air fryer basket and spray lightly with olive oil spray.
• Air-fry at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) until beans are golden and crunchy, about 6 minutes.
• Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to coat and air-fry the remaining beans.
• Stir together mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lemon juice in a small bowl until well combined. Serve with the air-fried green beans.
