Fried Green Beans

[SmokinKat]

Not sure if fried green beans are exactly HEALTHY per say, but these are low-carb version so we'll pretend they're legit.

Put a combo of bacon grease and coconut oil in a pan (about 1/4 deep) on medium heat till it was good and hot.

Dipped the green beans in beaten egg, then dredged in a mixture of coconut flour, black pepper, and Tony Chachere's seasoning.

Put them in the oil and cooked them for about 4-5 minutes-- basically till they were nicely browned, which left the beans with just a bit of crunch.

Pretty dang tasty, but a bit labor intensive-- they were disappearing faster than I could make them!

Yummy. Thanks for the idea

I like the sounds of that!!  The crunch part is always good around here.  I'm guessing that the green beans are fresh.  I'll have to give them a try.  Thanks for posting, Kat.

Healthier than most fried things.  I can live with that.

Nice Kat!!! One batch for me please!!! I used to do a simple ver. by just dusting fresh ones with a little flour and stir frying them in some oil. I used to do this often when the kids were young. Can't remember when I had them lately. I think I would like them with the nice breading you got on them! Don

I can handle low-carb like that, sounds great.

Thanks for the recipe Kat ... I usually get my fried green beans and/or asparagus from my favorite Chinese restaurant

Never had 'em before, but dang do they look good!  These are now on my "to try" list.

They look great Kat!

Thanks gang!  Yeah, if you're not trying to cut carbs, just doing a regular flour/spice mixture to toss them in would be really tasty too!   

Not sure what restaurant we saw them at originally, but it looked like a fun (and ever so slightly healthier) alternative to regular ol' french fries.
