Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 30 milliliters milk
- 120 grams Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bottle olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray it with olive oil.
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Set up a breading station with three bowls or shallow dishes. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined. In the third bowl, mix the Italian breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Working in small batches, dredge the green beans in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip them into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat the green beans in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Arrange the breaded green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching to ensure even crisping.
Lightly spray the tops of the breaded green beans with olive oil to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or your favorite dip.
