Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

1 cup breadcrumbs (use panko for an extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To simplify cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare Green Beans: Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends. After washing, pat them dry thoroughly with a paper towel; this step is crucial for achieving that delightful crispy texture while baking.

      Make Breading Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are evenly combined, ensuring that every bite will be packed with flavor.

        Prepare Egg Wash: In another bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them lightly until they're well combined. Add the olive oil to the beaten eggs and mix until fully incorporated.

          Bread the Green Beans: Take each green bean and dip it into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off. Next, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure each green bean is fully coated. Arrange the coated green beans on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they aren't overcrowded to promote even cooking.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are golden brown and crispy. Remember to flip the green beans halfway through to achieve an even bake and wonderful crunch.

              Serve: Once out of the oven, allow the green bean fries to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. For an extra touch, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for zesty flavor enhancement.

                Enjoy: Dive into your super crunchy garlic green bean fries, which serve perfectly as a tasty appetizer, flavorful side dish, or delightful snack!
