Recipe Tips And Ideas

Type of green beans: If you can find haricot verts instead of green beans (the thinner, leaner cousin of the traditional green bean), buy them. They will cook faster and get crispier. I found haricot verts at Trader Joe’s.

Save the green bean ends: Save other vegetable scraps as you accumulate them – and make a batch of homemade vegetable broth.

Sauce options: Serve with ranch dressing, sriracha mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Get 25+ dipping sauce recipes here.

Oven-Baked Parmesan Green Bean Fries

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Look for haricot verts, a thinner variety of green bean that cooks in less time (I bought mine at Trader Joe's). If you can only find green beans, you may need to up the baking time by a couple of minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 pound haricot verts (or green beans) with ends removed
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese (use vegan Parmesan for paleo and Whole30 diets)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Coat the top of a flat baking sheet with a bit of olive oil.
2. Combine beaten egg with spices in a small mixing bowl. Place Parmesan cheese in another bowl.
3. Place a few beans in the egg mixture at a time. Remove beans from egg batter and let excess batter drip off.
4. Dip each green bean in Parmesan cheese and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining green beans.
5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until cheese is lightly toasted brown. Serve with ranch dressing, sriracha-mayo or your favorite dipping sauce.
