These crispy green bean fries with bang bang chilli sauce are the perfect combination of crisp, creamy and gently spicy.
The bean fries make a healthy snack or a lovely alternative to classic chips – some turn completely crisp, while others stay slightly soft, just like McDonald’s fries.
Topped with a creamy, sweet and spicy bang bang chilli sauce, they become completely irresistible. Perfect as a side with dinner, a juicy burger, pita, sandwich or a good steak. They also work beautifully as a snack or starter when you want to serve something simple but delicious.
They are very easy to make with frozen beans, so you skip all the prep.
Tips for the best green bean fries
Use frozen beans – they don’t need to be pre-cooked and can go straight from the freezer into the oven or air fryer.
Season the beans before cooking – besides salt, try paprika, garlic powder, chilli flakes or Parmesan.
Serve them straight away – they are at their very best freshly cooked and crisp.
Use them as a side – they go perfectly with burgers, pita, sandwiches, steak or simply as a snack with a dip.
