Best French Fried Green Beans Recipes

FRENCH CUT GREEN BEANS WITH ALMONDS AND FRIED ONIONS

Steps:

• Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a high-sided saute pan. If using fresh beans, cut them lengthwise while you wait for the water to boil.
• Add salt and green beans to boiling water and cook until just tender. Drain beans and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Return the skillet to medium heat and add the butter. When butter is melted, add the almonds and cook until golden brown.
• Return the green beans to the pan, along with the juice of 1/2 a lemon, add salt and pepper, to taste. When warmed through, top with fried onions.

FRENCH FRIED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Heat oil in deep fryer to 375 degrees. You could use a heavy pot on the stove top with about 2 inches of oil in it. You want the beans to float and not be crowded.
• Wash the greenbeans and dry them well. Snip the ends but leave them full length.
• Prepare pancake mix per instructions on the box. You will need about 3 cups of the mixture.
• Dip the greenbeans in the batter mixture and put them in the hot oil. Put them in one at a time so they don't "glue" together but you can do quite a few at a time. Cook them until they are golden brown.
• Remove cooked beans from oil and drain on paper towels. While they are still hot sprinkle them with the parmesan cheese.
• Place the beans on a cookie sheet in the preheated oven while you cook the remaining beans. Try not to leave them in the oven for too long as the batter will start to get soft. Usually mine don't make it to the oven because they get eaten before they get that far.
