Crispy Fried Green Beans

Here’s a recipe for crispy fried green beans:

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound green beans, washed and trimmed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness)
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Green Beans:
  • Wash the green beans thoroughly under cold water and trim off the ends.
  1. Set Up the Dredging Station:
  • In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Place the beaten eggs in another shallow dish.
  • In a third shallow dish, add the breadcrumbs.
  1. Dredge the Green Beans:
  • Take a handful of green beans and coat them in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  • Dip the floured green beans into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • Finally, coat the green beans in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  1. Fry the Green Beans:
  • In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C).
  • Carefully place the breaded green beans in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Fry the green beans for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried green beans to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  1. Serve:
  • Once all the green beans are fried, transfer them to a serving platter.
  • Serve the crispy fried green beans hot, with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.
