French Fried Green Beans

[ValidRouge]

Fresh Green beans, throw them in the deep fryer just to get them crispy. Sprinkle salt on them, Oooh La La!

Dip them in horseradish and mayo.

Re: French Fried Green Beans

I love these!! I have never liked green beans, but these are so yummy!! I fry them with a little garlic, and they are one of my favorites. They look weird, but taste so good.

Re: French Fried Green Beans

This probably makes no sense (too much water), but could I do this with frozen french cut green beans? I could bake them I guess....

Re: French Fried Green Beans

Yes, you could do them on a cookie sheet! They are so yummy, I love throwing a little garlic in with them (if you have it). I hope you make it till Friday!

Re: French Fried Green Beans

I've just tried fresh ones because of the water...but like sunflower said, you could bake them which would dry up the water some. My hubby practically begs me to make them now.

I have done asparagus in the oven....cook them until the tips are crunchy and they are sooooooooo good. One day maybe I'll try to fry them too. LOL

What I like about frying the green beans is that you get the flavor of deep fried french fries...without the carbs. They'll actually get kinda crispy. Then the oil and salt flavor too.

Re: French Fried Green Beans

Well, I just baked them in my toaster oven for like 10 minutes and then I got lazy and hungry, but seriously, these were SO MUCH BETTER THAN MICROWAVING. I did sprinkle a little bit of garlic powder and then dressed them with a tiny amount of ranch dressing and now I'm EXCITED to eat green beans at every meal.

Re: French Fried Green Beans

Can't wait to try these...I tried french fried jicama. All I can say is yuk...I fried them very dark and they were still crunchy inside like a raw potato and limp. No crunch whatsoever. The taste was so so. I don't think this is my thing. Now I have 1/2 a large jicama and do not know what to do with it, because I don't like it raw either. Any suggestions? I will try anything.

Re: French Fried Green Beans

Pam, try this....slice the jicama in really thin slices like potato chips, and then fry them...yes, for a very long time, until brown. Dry them on paper towels and season with something. I put some BBQ dry rub spice on them and they tasted almost exactly like BBQ potato chips. They don't get super crispy, but they are much better than when thick-sliced like fries.

Re: French Fried Green Beans

Slice the jicama into pieces the size of matchsticks and add them to your salad. I *love* the combination of jicama, walnuts and blue cheese dressing. (if you're up to the nut rung on OWL, else just do the jicama and blue cheese on your salad).

YUMMY

Re: French Fried Green Beans

Hey Higgies and VR!!!! Nice to see your two again.

Well, mine were maybe the size of literally 2 matchsticks, pretty thin, but a chip and a matchstick are thinner, so I will do it. I like the idea of a BBQ rub, I will try it. I did seasoned salt...they were so so...I just didn't like the limpness and the raw potato texture...I am a texture person. I would rather die than eat a chunky, thin tomato sauce. Mine is as smooth as silk! LOL And thick too. I may love most all foods, but I am very picky about the preparation. I never could even eat a lumpy mashed potato. BUT, I am going to try the chip thing...my processor makes very thin chips and I will also try one more time eating it raw in a salad. I may like it this time. I only use Bleu cheese dressing, so it sounds good.

Re: French Fried Green Beans

I know this is a dumb question but I always get confused with green beans....they are the long thin kinda peach fuzzy bean right....I always think of snow peas and stuff like that

[ValidRouge]

Re: French Fried Green Beans

Yes, the ones I use are long and skinny and, when fresh, kind of have a peach fuzz on them.

They are DELICIOUS deep fried!

Re: French Fried Green Beans
