Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred for extra crunch)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons olive oil

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse and trim the green beans. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which will help them crisp up.

      Set up Breading Station: In one bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

        Coat the Green Beans: Dip each green bean first into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are well-coated. Then, roll them in the breadcrumb mixture until fully covered.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded green bean fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil for added flavor and crispiness.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the green bean fries are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through baking, give them a gentle toss to ensure even cooking.

              Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an added zest. Enjoy as a healthy snack or a delightful side dish!
