Equipment
Ingredients
For the green bean fries
- 1 - 1 ½ pounds fresh cut green beans
- 3 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried cilantro
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Kicking Ranch Dip
- ¼ cup Ranch dressing or dip
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
Instructions
For the Green Bean Fries
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Grease a baking sheet and set it aside.
- Start by cutting the ends off each green bean.
- Place flour in one bowl, eggs in one bowl, and bread crumbs with the remaining spices in another.
- Place your green beans in the flour, then egg, back to flour, back to the egg, and finally bread crumbs. Spread the coated green beans out on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining green beans.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- Serve with optional dipping sauce and enjoy!
For the Kicking Ranch Dipping sauce
- In a small dish, mix together your ranch and hot sauce. You can add more hot sauce if you choose.
Notes
- 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.
