    While you have your fry oil still hot make some other fried appetizers and treats. Fried Pickles, Tex-Mex Egg Rolls, Bang Bang Shrimp, and my favorite to use Thanksgiving leftovers, the Thanksgiving Egg Roll. You will have an appetizer platter to rival any appetizer platter. 

    Green Bean Fries Copy Cat Recipe

    I scoured the internet when I got home to find a copy cat recipe and this is a mashup of about 3 of the recipes that I found. Nothing is like sitting at the restaurant having the server bring you the freed green beans but this recipe is a pretty close second place.

    Can I use canned green beans to make fried green beans?

    You can probably get away with frozen in a pinch but DO NOT use canned. Canned are WAY to soft for this application. You need to crispness of a fresh green bean to make a good fried green bean.

    How to prepare fresh green beans to make fried green beans:

    2. Blanch them in simmering water for 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the bean.
