Miss French Fries??? Try this!

[addelapp5 0]

Okay... I'm 7 months post-op and I can tolerate ANY kind of potato... except for french fries. Now I'm not big on them, but sometimes they just sound good.

Someone told me the other day to bake my green Beans. Well... I love green Beans. I typically boil or steam them lightly (because they have to be super crunchy still!). But the thought of putting them in the oven kind of freaked me out. But the woman said they'd be amazing, so I braved it.

They were great! I can't eat a ton of them and I just cook for myself so I snapped and washed 10 beans and put them in a ziploc bag. Put a tiny bit of extra-virgin olive oil in along with a bit of salt and pepper and shook them around until they were well coated.

Then they went in the oven to bake at 400 for about 30 minutes (flip them 1/2 way through). Mine started getting pretty dark, but I was told to let them look "burnt". They came out a little sweet, salty and crunchy. Man they were good! It was a nice change of pace for me and really solved my french fry craving while still being good for me.

Anyway, if you're looking for something like that, give the beans a try. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Thanks for the recipe. Anything new to "mix it up" is welcome in my book.

I wonder if it would work for eggplant but peel off the skin

I do a version of this with sweet potato "sticks". 3-4 of them are a nice addition to a meal. I lightly spray them with olive oil and shake a combo of Splenda and cinnamon on them.:cursing:

In the bulk section of my health food store there is a bin with crispy veggies. It's a mix but has dried, crispy, zucinni, green Beans, carrots, sweet potato, and a couple other things I can't identify. they are a nice snack and a pleasant healthy change.

We have french fried green Beans in the restaurants all over our town. Try dipping them in some ff ranch dressing. You won't miss potatoes at all........

Thanks for sharing the recipe.
