Green Bean French Fries and a Facebook Page!

I am excited to announce that I now have my own Facebook page.  If you click the link on the right navigation pane to Facebook, you can like my page and get some additional updates in your news feed. Please do if you enjoy what you see.

Anyways, I do have a new recipe to share today! 

I would probably eat French fries every day if I could.  Unfortunately, most French fries found at restaurants are not necessarily healthy, so I save it for a once-in-a-while treat. I’ve tried the frozen kind, which aren’t bad, but I get a little sick of them  after a while.  However, I recently have been experimenting in baking my own “French fries” at home using other vegetables besides the potato and sweet potato.  So, without further ado…

Green Bean French Fries

These are really delicious and are a healthier version from deep friend alternatives. This recipe serves 2.

Ingredients:

½ lb of green beans – trimmed and washed

1 egg white

¼ cup of flour

¼ cup of bread crumbs, unseasoned

1 tsp of Penzey’s 4S seasoned salt

**Note: if you are not a fan of seasoned salt, you can substitute a different seasoning too.  I recommend Cavander’s Greek Seasoning or Penzey’s Cajun Seasoning

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray

2. Set up your breading station.  I like to use aluminum cake pans, since they are easy to clean up and contain the ingredients.

            a. Flour should go into pan #1

b. Whip the egg white until frothy and pour into pan #2. (Sometimes a little water will help)

c. Bread crumbs and seasoned salt should go into pan #3. Mix.

3. Bread the green beans.  Be sure to shake off any excess in the tray before going to the next step.

4. Place the bread green beans on the cookie sheet. 

5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

6. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.  

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. (And yes, once those beans were done, I ate them)
