Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Olive oil spray

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Breading Stations: Set up three shallow bowls for the breading process: one for flour, one for the beaten eggs, and one for the breadcrumb mixture.

      Make the Breadcrumb Mixture: In the bowl for the breadcrumbs, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

        Coat the Green Beans: Toss the trimmed green beans first in the flour, making sure they’re evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

          Dip in Egg: Dip the floured green beans into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully covered. Allow any excess egg to drip off.

            Coat with Breadcrumbs: Finally, roll the egg-coated green beans in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well. Place the coated green beans onto the prepared baking sheet.

              Spray with Olive Oil: Lightly spray the coated green beans with olive oil spray. This will help them get crispy while baking.

                Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, shaking the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even cooking.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. These crunchy Parmesan green bean fries are best enjoyed warm. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or garlic aioli.
