Crispy Battered Green Beans
Crispy Battered Green Beans are very easy to make. We love them because they are unusual and you don’t get them in restaurants. They are actually very similar to Japanese tempura vegetables; they become wonderfully crispy, and you can use any vegetable. Crispy Battered Green Beans can be served as a side dish or as a snack.
Editor’s Note:
These are delicious with the addition of a 1/2 teaspoon of Black Garlic or Cured Sumac. Using an airfryer makes them even easier to make.
