Ingredients

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour, if preferred)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional: Olive oil spray for crispiness

Instructions

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

Prepare Green Beans: Rinse the green beans thoroughly and trim off the ends. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Set Up Breading Station: In three separate bowls, prepare your breading station:

- In the first bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

- In the second bowl, beat the eggs lightly.

- In the third bowl, add the grated Parmesan cheese.

Coat the Green Beans: Take a handful of green beans, dip them into the flour mixture, ensuring they're evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour. Next, dip the floured green beans into the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip off, and then coat them in the Parmesan cheese, pressing slightly to adhere.

Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, lightly spray them with olive oil to enhance crispiness.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the green bean chips are golden brown and crispy. Be sure to check on them halfway through; you can flip them for even cooking.

Cool Before Serving: Once done, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This helps them crisp up even more.

Serve: Serve your Crispy Parmesan Green Bean Chips immediately as a healthy snack, appetizer, or side dish. Enjoy with a dipping sauce of your choice, like ranch or spicy mayo!
