Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and washed

1 cup breadcrumbs (use panko for an extra crunchy texture)

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Optional: Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze.

    Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the green beans thoroughly under cold water, then trim the ends. Pat the beans dry with a paper towel; this ensures they become crispy when baked.

      Create the Breading Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure that all the spices and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the breadcrumb mixture.

        Prepare the Egg Wash: In another bowl, crack open the eggs and beat them lightly with a fork. Add the olive oil and whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.

          Coat the Green Beans: Begin breading the green beans by dipping each one into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off. Next, roll each bean in the breadcrumb mixture until it is fully coated. Place the breaded green beans on the lined baking sheet in a single layer to ensure they cook evenly and don’t stick together.

            Bake to Perfection: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the green beans over gently with a spatula to promote even browning and crispness. Keep an eye on them towards the end; they should be golden brown and crunchy.

              Serving Suggestions: Once they are done baking, carefully remove the green bean fries from the oven and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a touch of color and flavor. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty kick.

                Savor the Flavor: Enjoy your irresistibly crunchy garlic green bean fries as a delightful appetizer, a savory side dish, or a snack that's sure to impress!
