These Fried Green Beans will be one of your ultimate recipe for gatherings. I guarantee everyone will ask for more and you will surprisingly find yourself making these addictive appetizers quite often.
Veggie chips make wonderful snacks. The best solution for vegetable haters. Some more ideas are: Breaded zucchini chips, okra chips and crispy roasted oyster mushrooms.

These fried green beans are the healthy alternatives to french fries just like Zucchini Sticks. You can pair these with cold beer. I would make these on a game day when you have friends and serve these with cold beer and see how everyone loves them.

The best part of this recipe is that you don’t need any slicing or chopping steps, just trim the ends. If the beans you are using are very fresh and with no string at all, they don’t need anything at all. You can directly coat them with the batter you prepare.

You can use this batter for other vegetbales like cauliflower or zucchini.
These fried green beans are golden on the outside and vibrant green on the inside. It keeps that lovely greenness thanks to a large bowl full of icy water.

I know fried foods are not healthy but if there are green beans inside, it has to do something with health.
This kind of fries are mostly paired with a yogurt sauce, I did the same but with an addition of mascarpone cheese. I highly recommend you to try this sauce with these fried beans, you will probably want to pair your regular french fries with this sauce too.
