Satisfy your French fry craving with these delicious low-cal green bean fries! The crunchy goodness of these Healthy Green Bean Fries with Creamy Honey Mustard makes for a perfect after-school snack to hold your kids over until dinnertime.
Pro tip: The breading procedure is fairly simple: Just roll the beans in flour mixture, then in your egg mixture. After letting them drip dry, roll the beans in breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Not only does the egg mixture help the breadcrumbs adhere to the beans, but it also helps with the browning of the breadcrumbs.
