Fried Green Beans
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Green Beans
Wash the fresh green beans thoroughly under cool running water. Trim the ends of the beans and set aside.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- 4
Coat the Green Beans
Dip each green bean into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off before frying.
- 5
Fry the Green Beans
Carefully lower the battered green beans into the hot oil in small batches. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 6
Serve
Serve the fried green beans hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
