Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans, fresh
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
- Blanch green beans by bringing a pot of water to a boil and cooking beans for about 2 minutes (or bright green). Immediately add beans to an ice bath (bowl of ice water). Drain beans and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat oil on medium-high heat in a large saucepan or deep fryer.
- While oil is heating, add flour to a medium bowl, beaten egg to a separate bowl, and bread crumbs to another bowl.
- Dredge green beans in flour, transfer to egg mixture, and coat. Add to bread crumbs and make sure the entire bean is coated.
- Fry green beans in oil until golden brown (about 4 minutes). Once fried, add to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with dips.
