Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed

1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easier cleanup.

    Prepare the Green Beans: In a large bowl, combine the trimmed green beans, olive oil, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss until all the green beans are evenly coated with the mixture.

      Bread the Green Beans: In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs. Take each green bean and roll it in the cheese and breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure they adhere well. Place the coated green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

        Bake the Green Beans: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the green bean fries are golden brown and crispy. You may want to flip them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

          Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the green bean fries from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or aioli.
