Green Bean Fries

These are tasty alternatives to both regular french fries and also a way to get in your veggies! I make them by the truckload and freeze them. My husband hates green beans but gobbles these up! Serve with Ranch dressing or another favorite dipping sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• oil for frying
• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat the oil in a deep fryer or electric skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Fry beans in batches so they are not touching. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
