Deep-fried green beans
- Heat oil in a pan for frying on medium flame.
- Fry the beans in hot oil in batches for about 5 to 6 minutes or until the crust becomes golden.
- Drain the fries onto tissue paper to absorb any excess oil.
- Repeat the process for the remaining beans.
- Serve the fries warm, and enjoy.
Oven-baked green beans
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Line the breaded green beans on a single layer in sheet pan.Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until coating becomes golden and beans are tender.
Air fry green beans
- Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F.
- Place the coated green beans on the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 5 minutes, turning them halfway through.
Notes
- You can use panko bread crumbs, cornmeal, crushed saltine, or crackers instead of bread crumbs.
- See that the oil is not too hot or too cold. If it's too hot, then the fries will turn dark brown very quickly, and if it's too cold, it will absorb excess oil.
- To check if the oil is hot, drop a little piece of the cracker mix and check if it sizzles and comes up.
- Do not overcrowd the pan. Once you drop the green beans in oil, leave it undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Use dried herbs and spices of your choice while making these fries.
- Serve this hot, or else the coating will become softer after some time.
