Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and trim the ends of the green beans.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Dip each green bean into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
  5. Place the coated green beans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining green beans.
  6. Lightly spray the green bean fries with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is.
