Crisp green bean ‘fries’

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Lightly spray a large baking tray with oil.
2. Combine passata, tomato paste, chilli and vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove dipping sauce from heat and set aside to cool.
3. Combine polenta and garlic in a shallow bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place egg in a separate shallow bowl. Add half the beans to egg, turning to coat. Drain any excess egg, then toss beans in polenta mixture (it doesn’t matter if the coating is a bit patchy). Spread beans over prepared tray. Repeat with remaining beans, egg and polenta mixture.
4. Lightly spray beans with oil and bake for 10 minutes. Turn beans and bake for 2-5 minutes or until coating is crisp and golden. Serve beans with dipping sauce.
