Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

½ cup ranch dressing
¼ cup peeled, seeded, and minced cucumber
1 tablespoon whole milk
1 ½ teaspoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon Japanese wasabi powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
2 cups water
2 cups chicken broth
8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon whole milk, or more as needed
½ cup plain bread crumbs
½ cup crushed French-fried onions
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
8 cups vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Blend ranch dressing, cucumber, 1 tablespoon milk, horseradish, vinegar, wasabi powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper together in a food processor until dip is smooth. Transfer dip to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
  • Bring water and chicken broth to a boil; add green beans and cook until slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon milk together in a bowl. Combine bread crumbs, French-fried onions, 3/4 teaspoon salt, onion powder, black pepper, and garlic powder together in a separate bowl. Place flour in a third bowl.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Press green beans in flour until evenly coated. Dip coated green beans in egg-milk mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip back into bowl. Transfer green beans to bread crumbs mixture and press to coat, shaking off excess. Arrange coated beans in 1 layer on a plate or in a colander.
  • Working in batches, fry coated green beans in the hot oil until crisp, about 1 minute 30 seconds. Transfer green bean fries to a paper towel-lined colander using a slotted spoon. Serve green bean fries with dip.

I'm not a big fan of green beans, but these fries were surprisingly delicious. The dip was also very good.

I've made these fries several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The fries are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the dip is the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy.
