Spotted a dairy version of this recipe on Pinterest
and was inspired to healthify it and make it for dinner last night!
That recipe called for parmesan cheese so to healthify
my recipe, I used almond flour, which
is dairy-free (wont upset your stomach) and
loaded with good-for-you fat, protein and fiber.
I also added some good-for-you oil, which also helps to make the almond flour stick
and the beans to get more crispy.
Feel free to omit the almond flour- oil + sea salt is enough to make them taste great!
Crispy Baked Green Bean Fries
Ingredients:
Bag of whole green beans (or about 4 cups fresh)
1/3 tsp olive oil or coconut oil
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup ground almond flour (optional)
1/8 tsp pepper (optional)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, and coat with a little olive or coconut oil so beans dont stick.
2. Wash beans, snip off the ends and pat dry.
3. Place green beans on prepared baking pan, making sure they are evenly spread out, and none are laying on top of each other, (this will ensure even crispiness!). Sprinkle oil and salt (and almond flour + seasonings if you’re using) evenly over green beans.
4. Place green beans in the pre-heated oven and bake for approx 20 minutes. Broil them for an extra approx 5 minutes before pulling them out of the oven so they get nice and crispy.
Voila!
Enjoy!
be crispy. be delicious. be well.
be well,
