Ingredients
Sriracha Mayo
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Fried Green Beans
-
- 1 1/4 lb fresh green beans trimmed and well dried
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup beer
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
-
In a small bowl and whisk together the mayo, sriracha sauce, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
-
Place a 1/2 cup of flour on a medium shallow plate for dredging the green beans.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, ground cayenne pepper, cumin, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Slowly stir in beer; mix just until combined.
-
In a large dutch oven or heavy stock pot, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil to 375 degrees. Dredge the green beans through flour on a shallow plate. Using tongs, dip the floured green beans in the batter and gently into the oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crisp, turning once, about 2-3 minutes. Remove to drain on layered paper towels. Serve warm with sriracha mayo.
Notes
- If sriracha mayo doesn’t suit your taste, serve with creamy honey mustard sauce, comeback sauce, or ranch dressing.
- Use regular green beans for this recipe. The haricot verts are too thin and do not work well with this recipe.
- Use an oil with a high smoking point, like vegetable or canola oil.
- Do not over-mix the beer batter because it may toughen if over-mixed.
