Ingredients

1/2 Pound of Green Beans ( trim off ends)

2 cups chicken broth, low salt
1/2 lb green beans – I do not suggest canned beans
1 Egg
1/2 c milk
1 c Bread Crumbs

1/4 Cup of Flour
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp of Salt
1/4 tsp of Pepper
Vegetable Oil

DIP:
1/2 c ranch dressing
1/4 c Cucumber – grated ( I use a cheese grater)
1 Tablespoon of Wasabi Horseradish Sauce – ( Dressing Section )

Directions

Dip – Combine all the ingredients in a bowl ( done). Refrigerate the dip until it is served

Bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add green beans cook for 5 minutes. Transfer cooked beans to a big bowl of ice water – you do not want the beans to keep cooking

Once beans are cooled. Dry off the beans.

In a blender combine: pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, flour and bread crumbs – blend for about 10 seconds this will create a finer coating. Transfer flour mixture to a plate

In a bowl whisk the egg and milk together

Dip each green bean into the egg mixture then dredge in the flour mixture. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet

Once all the green beans are coated place the cookie sheet into the freezer for 25 minutes — this will help the coating stay on the green beans

Heat the oil in a stockpot ( 350 Degrees) you only need about 2 inches of oil

Fry the green beans about 5 at a time. It should take 90 seconds to fry each one

Transfer fried beans to a paper towel so all the excess oil is absorbed

Serve with the dip 🙂
