Fries don’t have to be a guilty pleasure, especially when they are made with vitamin-rich green beans and baked in the oven rather than fried. Carmen over at Every Last Bite shared this recipe with us and it is the perfect party snack!
She coated these beans (which are very high in fiber) in gluten-free breadcrumbs and cornmeal for added crunch. We have also included two delicious dips, a garlicky herb yogurt and a spicy sriracha dip, which are both made with fat-free Greek yogurt and packed full of flavor. Unlike other fries, these green bean fries don’t get soggy, so you can make a big batch and still enjoy their crispy crunch hours after baking.
Happy dipping!
