Parmesan Green Bean Fries

Fries you can eat guilt free. These crispy green bean fries are oven baked for a healthy side dish or snack.  I just eat them plain but you can serve with ranch dressing or make a dip with mayo and sriracha.

I usually use Panko bread crumbs, but since i didn’t have any, I crushed some ritz crackers and it worked out great. So if you want to make a gluten free version, just crush some gluten free crackers. For the seasoning, I used garlic salt and pepper but you can add your favorite spices.

To toss the green beans in flour, the easiest and less messy way for me is to add the green beans and flour into a produce or Ziploc bag.
