Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until combined.
Step 4
In another shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Step 5
Dip each green bean into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then transfer it to the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the green bean.
Step 6
Place the coated green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each for even cooking.
Step 7
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the coated green beans for extra crispiness.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping the green beans halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Golden Green Bean Crunch as a side dish or a snack!
