Baked Green Bean Fries
Healthy, nutritious fries that you can eat guilt-free. And they’re baked to absolute crisp-perfection!
Christmas is fast-approaching, and if our Christmas feast is going to be anything like our Thanksgiving feast, I’m in need of some fat pants and a huge serving of these green bean fries.
Now I don’t know about you guys but being the pathological snacker that I am, these come in super handy, especially when you pile on that Ranch dipping sauce. After all, it all evens out since these are baked, saving you on a ton of calories!

Panko schmanko RITZ crackers for a substitute, everything else the same!
Can you use homemade breadcrumbs?
I make this regularly as a side dish. I LOVE it!! I struggle sometimes getting enough veggies in but this recipe makes me love veggies! Thank you for a tasty recipe!
Hi. This recipe looks delicious. Do you think I could assemble it I had of time and then bake it right in time for dinner? Thanks in advance.
Yes, that should work!
Can you make these in an air fryer
Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, we cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
I tried this recipe and it worked well. I followed the instructions and they came out nice and crunchy. A little under seasoned, so I added a little salt as soon as they came out of the oven. Served with an avocado dipping sauce.
I thought these were bland 🙁 my first recipe from damndelicious I didn’t like.
The ‘pin’ link isn’t working for me..???
I’m so sorry about that Connie. It is working on my end. Have you tried reloading the page?
These are fantastic! The entire family lived them a bed I have very picky eaters. Would make a great appetizer also with a dip.
These turned out fantastic!! I tried to make them as is but I only had about a tablespoon of Pablo! So depressed. I smashed a few Ritz, oyster crackers, used the Pablo and Parmesan. They were wonderful!
Next time I have to make them more carb free cuz I just have to. ☹️ Lol
Made these for dinner tonight and they were a big hit with the family! I had 1/2 of a white onion on hand so sliced it into rings using the same coatings as the green beans and baked together. Delicious! Love your cookbook.
i recently visited los angeles CA & a restaurant chain named PF Changs, a popular dish was green beans. however they were fried so im hoping these are a healthy version to end my cravings! thanks for the recipe
I substituted almond flour for the panko and flour to make it low carb, wow!!!!
These are delicious! But only a few stuck to the Panko mix. What did i do wrong?
It’s hard to say. I recommend thoroughly dipping them into the eggs before coating with Panko. Hope that helps!
I made these for dinner tonight and they turned out amazing! I skipped the Parmesan (lactose intolerant), but just added a little salt to the Panko. I did turn them in the pan halfway through to make sure they browned evenly. Served them with burgers, and they were the perfect substitute for French fries. Thanks for the recipe! I will definitely make these again!
I made these tonight. Tasty but definitely messy. I only used a pound of green beans, too, not a pound and a half, and I needed three eggs instead of two.
Probably not something I’ll make again but it was interesting to try. Thanks for the recipe!
I made these tonight but I used the coating they use for the Bisquick chicken tenders and they were amazing!! The only reason I didn’t use panko was because I was worried not enough would stick to the beans. We all loved them though, thanks!!
I add butter and garlic first it isn’t as healthy but it adds another layer of flavor. I had only ever served them with just the garlic then I decided to add the Panko when I took them to my daughters school Thanksgiving festival. Her school does the entire school and rents out a hall, not just a class or two. So you have to do a dish for twelve.
I used two bags of frozen whole green beans(thawed). I would say these green beans are close to TGIF’s green beans(appetizer) in a healty version. Two bags was A LOT OF WORK! I would definitely make these again.
These were much too labor intensive! I did about 1/5 of the recipe and gave up. The flour stuck okay, the Panko/parmesan not terribly well. I did bake what I made and they tasted good but not good enough for the > 30 minutes to prep the beans and then dredge and coat 1/5 of them. The only change I made was to add more cayenne.
