Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, thoroughly rinsed and trimmed

1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for added heat)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to make cleanup a breeze.

    Prepare the Green Beans: In a large mixing bowl, combine the trimmed green beans with the olive oil, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss the mixture thoroughly until each green bean is well-coated.

      Bread the Green Beans: In a shallow dish, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs. Take each seasoned green bean and roll it in the cheese and breadcrumb mixture, pressing them gently to ensure the coating sticks well. Arrange the coated green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

        Bake the Green Beans: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the green bean fries for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. For optimal browning, flip the green beans halfway through the cooking time.

          Garnish and Serve: Once they are done, remove the green bean fries from the oven. If you like, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and freshness. Serve these delicious green bean fries immediately with your choice of dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or aioli.
