Deep Fried Green Beans Recipe

Ingredients

This recipe was developed at its original yield. Ingredient amounts are automatically adjusted, but cooking times and steps remain unchanged. Note that not all recipes scale perfectly. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings:

• 1 pound fresh green beans
• cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 cups vegetable oil, or as needed

Directions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, cook the green beans in the water for about 2 minutes, or until they turn bright green.

Step 2: Immediately transfer the cooked green beans into a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain the beans and pat them dry using paper towels.

Step 3: Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350F (175C).

Step 4: Pour the flour into one bowl, and whisk the egg in a separate bowl. In a third bowl, pour in the seasoned bread crumbs.

Step 5: Coat each green bean with the flour, then dip it into the beaten egg to coat evenly. Afterward, press the coated green bean into the bread crumbs, ensuring it is well-covered.

Step 6: Working in batches, fry the breaded green beans in the hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the fried beans to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
