Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh green beans
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 240 milliliters Water (or club soda for extra crispiness)
- 1 liter Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0 Optional dipping sauces (ranch, spicy aioli, etc.)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the green beans, removing any stems or ends. Pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the water (or club soda) into the dry mixture while whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth, pancake-like batter. Avoid overmixing.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 180°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to ensure precise temperature control.
Step 5
Working in small batches, dip the green beans into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 6
Carefully lower the battered green beans into the hot oil, one at a time, to prevent them from clumping together. Fry each batch for 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried green beans to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining green beans, ensuring the oil temperature stays consistent between batches.
Step 9
Serve the deep-fried green beans warm with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
