Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil spray
- For the garlic aioli:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
- In a shallow bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each green bean first in flour, shaking off excess, then in beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place coated green beans on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly spray the green bean fries with olive oil spray.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the fries bake, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt and pepper in a small bowl to make the garlic aioli.
- Serve the baked green bean fries warm with garlic aioli on the side for dipping.
Notes
