These Baked Parmesan Green Bean Fries are coated with a mixture of Parmesan cheese and spices, and then baked until golden. Crispy, crunchy, and full of flavor, these healthier fries make the perfect appetizer or easy side dish!
When I was in high school, my friends and I loved getting a big group of us together to go out for dinner.
And one of our favorite spots was a a diner-type place that served the best fries. Their menu was good and the prices were even better, especially for high school students!
The restaurant we used to frequent is no longer there, which is probably for the better, since my tastes have outgrown that place. But, I do miss that restaurant for one reason: their green bean fries!
Green bean fries are pretty well-known by now, but years ago, they just weren’t a thing. I can remember the first time I ordered the fries as an appetizer…man, were they good! I never knew green beans could taste so crispy and zesty.
Fast forward years later, and I still think about those green bean fries. And even though they’re available at a lot of restaurants these days, I hardly ever order them.
So, when I got a craving for them a few weeks ago, I decided to make my own version of my old favorite. These Baked Parmesan Green Bean Fries are coated with a mixture of Parmesan cheese and spices, and then baked until golden. Crispy, crunchy, and full of flavor, these healthier fries make the perfect appetizer or easy side dish!
And trust me when I say that these Baked Parmesan Green Bean Fries are addictive! I didn’t even try to resist the temptation…I think I ate them all!
Well, I take that back. Since the hubster is my official taste tester, he did sneak a handful (or two) of these babies. And even though he’s not a big lover of green bean fries, he did think these were pretty amazing. I attribute that to the mixture of Parmesan, garlic, bread crumbs, and onion powder. Man, oh man, does that create the most delicious seasoning!
Now, like most of my recipes, these green bean fries are so easy to make! But, you knew that was coming, right? And since they’re baked, it just means that you can sneak one (or ten) more than the fried kind. See? I’m always thinking!
