Recipe: Crispy Green Bean Fries

Ingredients

• ¾ lb fresh string beans, ends trimmed; or 12-ounce bag frozen string beans, thawed
• ½ cup white whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 egg whites
• ¾ cup Panko bread crumbs
• ¼ cup Sargento® Grated Parmesan Cheese
Creamy Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
• ¼ cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup light mayonnaise
• 1½ Tbsp honey
• 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425º F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
3. In a separate shallow baking dish, whisk together the egg whites with 2 tablespoons of water until frothy.
4. In a third baking dish, or on a plate, combine the Panko, and Parmesan cheese.
5. To bread the beans, roll them through the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Next, roll them through the egg wash and allow the excess to drip off. Third, roll them through the Panko mixture, and press gently to adhere to the beans.
6. Lay out the beans on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until golden.
