Fried Green Beans

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Directions

1. 1. Bring a pot of water to a boil; cook beans in boiling water until bright green, about 2 minutes.
   2. Immediately transfer green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and dry beans with paper towels.
   3. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350°F.
   4. Pour flour into a bowl. Whisk egg in a separate bowl. Pour bread crumbs into a third bowl.
   5. Coat green beans with flour; transfer to beaten egg and coat evenly.
   6. Press coated green beans into bread crumbs.
   7. Fry breaded green beans, working in batches, in the hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
   8. Transfer fried beans to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
