Ingredients

  • 1 pound Fresh Green Beans
  • 1 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Large Eggs
  • ½ cup Milk
  • 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • Vegetable Oil For Frying

Instructions

  • Rinse the green beans, trim the ends, and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Set up a breading station with 3 shallow bowls:
    Bowl 1: Flour
    Bowl 2: Whisk together the eggs and milk.
    Bowl 3: Combine the panko breadcrumbs, salt, and paprika.
  • Coat each green bean in the egg mixture, then the flour. Dip it back into the egg mixture, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture. Place on a plate and repeat until all the green beans are breaded.
  • Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil into a heavy saucepan or deep skillet. Heat the oil to 375°F.
  • Working in batches, carefully add the green beans to the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Transfer the fried green beans to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with a little extra salt, if desired.
  • Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
