Green Bean Fries FAQs
Unfortunately, this recipe is not keto-friendly because of the flour and bread crumbs.
BEFORE COOKING: After coating, place the green beans in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze until completely frozen throughout. Transfer the beans to a freezer-safe zip-top bag or airtight container. To cook, use directly from frozen, adding additional cooking time. Use within 1 month.
AFTER COOKING: I don’t suggest it. They tend to become soggy.
I suggest enjoying this recipe fresh out of the oven. Personally, I don’t think leftovers are as good. However, if you need to store them, you can place them in a zip-top bag or an airtight container.
You can bake them or put them in the air fryer until heated through. You can also broil them.
Yes! Set your temperature to 400°F. Cook the green beans in a single layer for 5 minutes. Carefully turn them over and continue to cook for another 3 minutes, or until golden.
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.
