Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh green beans
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 30 ml milk
- 120 grams breadcrumbs
- 40 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 500 ml vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the green beans by removing their stems. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until combined. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or fryer over medium heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle and float.
Step 4
Working in small batches, coat each green bean in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the egg mixture and finally coat it evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Step 5
Carefully lower the breaded green beans into the hot oil using tongs or a slotted spoon. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Remove the frites from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the Green Bean Frites warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or garlic aioli.
