Yes, there is a way to turn green beans into delicious "fries" at home, with no deep-frying, lots of oil, or special equipment required...just your oven! First, dip the beans into egg whites, then turn to coat in some freshly grated Parmesan cheese. That's all you need to add a flavour bomb to simple string beans. Arrange them on a baking sheet and stick them in the oven until the cheese is nicely browned, which takes only 8 minutes. You can serve them on a platter as the perfect party appetizer, or arrange them upright in jars or glass cups for a fun, creative presentation. You and your guests will be reaching for these bean "fries" all night long.
