Method
Preparation of Bean Fries
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure the fries become crispy.
- 2
Prepare the Beans
Drain and rinse the canned black beans under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- 3
Mash the Beans
In a mixing bowl, mash the black beans using a fork or potato masher until smooth but still slightly chunky.
- 4
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Mix well.
- 5
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry mixture to the mashed beans while mixing thoroughly. The mixture should hold together but not be too sticky.
- 6
Shape the Fries
Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into fry-like sticks, about 4 inches long. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 7
Add Olive Oil
Drizzle olive oil over the shaped fries and gently toss them to coat evenly.
- 8
Bake the Fries
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Preparation of Dipping Sauce

Mix the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt. Stir until smooth and well mixed.

Serve
Once the bean fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
