Ingredients
- 1 pound Green beans
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the green beans, removing any stems.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three bowls. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Coat each green bean in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, then coat it evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Step 4
Place the breaded green beans on a baking sheet or plate while you work on the remaining beans.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Fry the green beans in batches for 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to maintain the oil's temperature.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried green beans to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or a spicy aioli.
