Baked Green Bean Fries!

September 14, 2015 By Talya Tate Boerner 5 Comments

Baked Green Bean FriesI bought fresh green beans at Fayetteville Farmer’s Marketย last weekend andย decided to try my hand at green bean fries. Have you tried the green bean fries that are all the rage at restaurants? Breaded, deep-fried and dipped in some sort of yummy, rich, ranch-like dressing. They’re deliciousย because, hello, they are fried. My tastyย baked green bean fries can be served as an appetizer or as a side dish. Guilt-free, people.

Baked Green Bean Fries!

Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Two cups fresh green beans
  • 1 Tablespoon buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 1/8 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh grated parmesan not the dry stuff in a can!
  • pinch or more of cayenne pepper depending on heat level you like
  • 1 teaspoon toasted flaxseed optional
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Trim ends from green beans but leave them long.
  • Toss beans in buttermilk to coat. Mix in garlic.
  • Mix flaxseed and cayenne with breadcrumbs and pour over beans. Toss. Place on baking dish and sprinkle with half the parmesan. Add salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes. Turn beans and sprinkle with remaining parmesan. Bake 10 minutes more (ovens vary).
  • Turn heat to broil for final two minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite creamy dip.

Notes

About the flaxseed...I sneak flaxseed into recipes whenever I can. Flaxseed adds fiber!

Baked Green Bean Fries

Serve withย my low-calorie dill dipย or your favorite ranch dressing. And I serve themย in a Mason jar to make them fancy (because I don’t have one of those fancy restaurant cone thingys). Yes, Mason jars = fancy.

So that’s what’s going on in my kitchen (yesterday actually). Because we can’t eat a lot of fried foods and pretend to be healthy.

    That sounds like an Iowa State Fair food to eat on a stick.
