This recipe for Crispy Green Bean Fries is a fun way to change things up at dinner! They’re easy to make and kid-friendly too!
Hi friends!
Meet your new favorite dinner side dish! I made these Green Bean Fries when my parents were in town a few weeks ago and they didn’t last long! Let me start by saying that green beans and Italian dressing is pretty much my fav combo ever…so that’s what I used for dipping. But you could totally eat these without a dip or use some yogurt mixed with thai chili sauce and sriracha for a sweet and spicy version!
These are a little bit labor intensive…but they’re so so worth it! And once you get in your groove, they really don’t take all that long.
Green Bean Fries
You only need 4 ingredients and one of them is optional! Green beans, hummus, panko breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese (optional). Use whatever flavor of hummus you’d like. I’m a huge fan of Supremely Spicy from Sabra.
Here are your directions:

This recipe for Crispy Green Bean Fries is a fun way to change things up at dinner! They're easy to make and kid-friendly too!
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimed
- 1/3 cup hummus
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated or crumbled Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Place hummus on one plate.
- Mix breadcrumbs and parmesan (if using) together on another plate.
- Holding onto one end a bean, run it through the hummus to coat, then roll in breadcrumb mixture.
- Place on a greased, foil-lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining beans.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until beans reach desired level of doneness.
See? Super easy right?
The beans may stick a bit to the pan so make sure your foil is well-greased, but it should be fairly easy to dislodge them with a firm scoop of a spatula.
Get excited, friends! Green bean season is coming and you’re gonna want to make these all summer long!
Enjoy!

I love the addition of hummus! I’ve made something similar before but never would have thought of using hummus for it’s stickiness. I’m sure it adds great flavor. C’mon green bean season!
These immediately caught my attention–why have I never done this before?! Pinned!
I can’t wait to try these. My son only likes green beans raw or when I char them in the broiler, but I bet he would adore these! And so much healthier than fried! Pinning
My kids and I love green beans. We usually marinate them in a light lemon/oo dressing, but my kids prefer anything that had a coating on it!
Yesssss this is genius! Making these tonight!
This sounds good–i hope the GF breadcrumbs work as good!
The antithesis of your namesake but I have been looking for a great recipe for these! Thanks!
Such a cool idea!
never thought to use hummus as part of the dredging process. Love this idea!
Genius idea to add the hummus! It can be hard to get the coating to stick to whatever you’re breading, but the hummus seems like it would work really well. YUM!
Whoa… This might just be the most amazing recipe ever! I mean seriously you just combined 3 of my favorite things… green beans, hummus and crunchy baked finger foods…. SO WINNING!
I love that you use hummus instead of eggs for dipping. I’m not a huge fan of eggs, so this is perfect for me to try. Thanks for the great idea!
