These fried green beans are best served with ranch dressing. Fresh green beans are blanched, then deep-fried to a golden crispness that nobody can resist.

Ingreadient

• 1 pound fresh green beans
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 cups vegetable oil, or as needed

Direction

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; cook beans in boiling water until bright green, about 2 minutes. Immediately transfer green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry beans with paper towels.
2. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Pour flour into a bowl. Whisk egg in a separate bowl. Pour bread crumbs into a third bowl.
4. Coat green beans with flour; transfer to beaten egg and coat evenly. Press coated green beans into bread crumbs.
5. Working in batches, fry breaded green beans in hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer fried beans to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
