Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• Oil for frying
• 1 Pound (lb) fresh green beans, trimmed
• 0.5 Cups (cup) water
• 1 Large egg, whisked
• 0.5 Cups (cup) milk
• 2 Cups (cup) seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) chili powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) onion powder
• 1 Cup (cup) all-purpose flour
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) smoked paprika

Steps

1. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or electric skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a saucepan, combine green beans and water. 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 to stop the cooking process, then drain again.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Toss the drained green beans with flour to coat, shaking off the excess. Dip the beans into the egg mixture, then into the seasoned bread crumbs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
5. Fry the beans in batches, ensuring they do not touch, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
6. For a less oily option, fry for 1 minute, then transfer to a dry frying pan to finish crisping up over medium heat.
7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or a spicy aioli.

Enjoy these crispy, flavorful green bean fries as a delicious alternative to traditional fries!
