Green beans are the new tomatoes. And by that I mean we have about a metric ton in the garden. Our go-to is to saute them with garlic, salt and pepper but with so many I’ve been trying to prepare them other ways so we don’t have green bean burnout.
When I told Mark I was making these, he was like, I don’t know about those. They were, thankfully, well received. I like that they were baked, not actually fried, and that it was a great way to sneak in some veggies where we would have normally done potato fries.
Baked Green Bean Fries
(slightly adapted from Smarty had a Party!)
Serves 2
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp. backyard brick oven seasoning
1/2 lb. green beans
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
Sriracha mayo, for dipping
Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Wash and trim the green beans.
In one bowl, whisk together the panko and seasoning. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs.
Dip the green beans into the egg mixture, roll in the panko and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with sriracha mayo for dipping.
I like the idea of using Sriracha mayo for dipping. I haven’t tried backyard brick oven seasoning yet, but I like the combination of garlic, oregano and red pepper.
This sounds good. They are probably healthier than ones at PF Changs.
