Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

2 large eggs

¼ cup all-purpose flour

Olive oil spray or cooking oil for drizzling

Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prep Green Beans: Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim off the ends. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

      Prepare the Breading Station: In three shallow bowls, set up your breading station:

        - Bowl 1: Place the flour.

          - Bowl 2: Beat the eggs until well mixed.

            - Bowl 3: In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

              Bread the Green Beans: Working in batches, toss each green bean first in the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip in the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat the green beans in the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture, ensuring they are well covered.

                Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded green beans on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure crispiness.

                  Add Oil: Lightly spray or drizzle olive oil over the coated green beans to help them crisp up in the oven.

                    Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the green bean fries are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through the baking time, flip the green beans for even cooking.

                      Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for color. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
