Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh green beans
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 240 milliliters Water (or club soda for extra crispiness)
- 1 liter Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Optional dipping sauces (ranch, spicy aioli, etc.)
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans, removing any stems or ends. Pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Gradually add the water (or club soda) into the dry mixture while whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth, pancake-like batter. Avoid overmixing.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 180°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to ensure precise temperature control.
Working in small batches, dip the green beans into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
Carefully lower the battered green beans into the hot oil, one at a time, to prevent them from clumping together. Fry each batch for 3–4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried green beans to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining green beans, ensuring the oil temperature stays consistent between batches.
Serve the deep-fried green beans warm with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
