Crispy Deep Fried Green Beans Recipe

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the green beans and cook until they turn bright green, approximately 2 minutes. Quickly move the green beans to a bowl filled with ice water to halt the cooking. Drain the beans well and pat them dry using paper towels.
2. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan until it reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Ensure the oil is hot enough for optimal frying.
3. Place the flour in one bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Put the bread crumbs into a third bowl, preparing your breading station.
4. Thoroughly coat the green beans with flour, then transfer them to the beaten egg, ensuring they are evenly coated. Next, press the coated green beans firmly into the bread crumbs to ensure they adhere well.
5. Working in manageable batches, fry the breaded green beans in the hot oil until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. After frying, transfer the beans to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
