Deep-Fried Green Beans

Have a tough time getting the young ones to eat vegetables? Well they are sure to eat this fun and quick green bean dish. You can use them as a side or appetizer!!! I got this recipe from my sister-in-law that has 3 kids who aren’t fond of veggies!

Step: 1

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; set aside. Pour the buttermilk into a shallow dish.

Step: 2

Thread the green beans onto toothpicks, making bundles of about 5 green beans each. Dip the green bean bundles into the buttermilk, then into the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour. Fry in the hot oil until the flour turns golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, and serve hot.

The most obvious way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. If you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But often you can make a dish do double-duty .
