Oven-Baked Parmesan Green Bean Fries

Oven-Baked Parmesan Green Bean Fries

YIELD: 4 servings PREP TIME: 10 min COOK TIME: 10 min
Look for haricot verts, a thinner variety of green bean that cooks in less time. 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

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