We loved our green beans this way, breaded and baked. Don’t worry that the breading won’t stick to the green beans very well.  That would be too frustrating.  I tried a few different ways, but decided it wasn’t worth the extra time to stress about it.  So, here is what we did:

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 lb of green beans

Mixed the buttermilk with the egg, and soaked the green beans in the mixture for about 10 minutes in the fridge (hoping for a little extra sticking power).

Then, we arranged the green beans on a pan, lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray (foil not necessary).

Then, we sprinkled the beans with salt and panko crumbs.

Then, place in oven at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes, or until panko starts to get golden brown.

Then, the most important and fun part for my kids, making Origami Fry Boxes!  ha ha.. My daughter actually sat down and made 30 of them!!  I asked her who will use all of them, and she just wanted to “save them for later”. Whatever, she loves origami!
