Green Bean Fries FAQs

Recipe Tips

• I found using a fork to transfer from bowl to bowl works best. I found that using my fingers became a sticky mess with more eggs in the panko bread crumbs.
• Experiment with different dipping sauces. Try sriracha and mayo. Or your favorite Ranch dressing. Roasted garlic mayo is great, too. My kids enjoy Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce.
• You can use regular bread crumbs in place of the panko. However, panko bread crumbs will give a better crunch since they tend to be larger and flakier than regular bread crumbs.
• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. It is best to place all of the green beans in a single layer to get the crispiest results possible.
