Green Bean Fries for supper!

Ginaaaaaa · 05-30-2012, 04:24 PM

I make them in the microwave much easier. I put the green beans in a plastic bag add some olive oil and salt, mix it all up then put them on a parchment lined plate and microwave for about 20 minutes. They come out nice crispy and crunchy.

OH MY GOODNESS yumm!!!!!!

Charski · 05-30-2012, 07:03 PM

I used to have those same Corelle plates!

Ginaaaaaa · 05-30-2012, 07:23 PM

LOL Char...someone else said the same thing. They are my favorite plates.

Cerriesyogamama · 05-30-2012, 07:28 PM

Looks so yummy!!!

Must try these

CarolynF · 05-30-2012, 07:41 PM

Yummmy..Must try them..and my mom had those plates..

jdcri · 05-31-2012, 06:47 AM

I had those plates too - as a hand me down from a neighbor when I moved in with my brother LOL!!

Nigel · 05-31-2012, 07:09 AM

I love that idea. I hadn't thought of cooking them in the nukker and they look great. oh yeah, my Mom still has those Corelle plates. Hey, I think they even sell similar ones at our Walmart. lol Anyway, great plates and great pics and thanks for the idea.

Ginaaaaaa · 05-31-2012, 08:04 AM

Oh great, I'll always be remembered as the corelle plate girl. LOL I got them at a thrift store a long time ago. They've become part of the family now. Hahaha

These make a great french fry sub. I can stick them in the microwave while I'm cooking other things and have a quick and easy side dish ready. Nice to be able to use the microwave now that it's getting to be warmer weather.

sligh · 05-31-2012, 08:26 AM

Very interesting - I'd like to try this. Did you place them on the plate in a single layer to cook them - that's how I used to do it in the oven.

Ginaaaaaa · 05-31-2012, 09:14 AM

Yes, the more evenly distributed they are, the faster and better they will cook. I usually mix them around about halfway through to get them all cooked evenly.

Brendajm · 05-31-2012, 09:53 AM

about how long to get them crispy? They look good

Ginaaaaaa · 05-31-2012, 09:59 AM

About 20 minutes in my microwave. You want to keep an eye on them.

Nigel · 05-31-2012, 10:27 AM

Hey Corelle girl...lol...just kidding.

I'm going shopping for green beans this weekend and I'm going to shake them up in some warm bacon grease just cause I love bacon grease on all my green beans.

Did you use the corelle plate in the nukker?

Ginaaaaaa · 05-31-2012, 10:56 AM

I have a reusable cookie sheet liner that I cut into a circle shape to use on my plates. But I think you can just put the green beans on the plate and it would work fine. Or you could use parchment paper if you have it.

Brendajm · 05-31-2012, 11:02 AM

did you cover them? I hate splatters all over,, if not did these splatter? You spend alot of time in the kitchen, I enjoy reading about all your recipes that you make

Ginaaaaaa · 05-31-2012, 11:20 AM

I didn't cover them, and they didn't seem to splatter any oil inside the microwave. I don't put too much oil on them..maybe a tbsp or two. The green beans don't burst open while cooking or anything.

I'm glad you like my posts. I like sharing my pics with everyone. I know I like seeing other people posts with pics. Lately I have been doing a lot of baking but it's getting too warm for it and I'm also gong to start eating a lot less baked goods and more meats, cheese and veggies.

goheels · 05-31-2012, 04:17 PM

Wow, I don't think I've ever cooked anything for 20 minutes in a microwave

, I'll have to try these.

Same here. What level did you cook them at?

Ginaaaaaa · 05-31-2012, 07:01 PM

High power. Everyones microwave power is different so keep that in mind if making these.

buttoni · 05-31-2012, 07:05 PM

I'm going to have to give these a try! These would make a great Juddd Down Day snack.

Lowcarbboy · 06-01-2012, 08:29 PM

These look great! But I'll probably just deep fry them :P I'll have to pick some up on my next grocery trip, thanks!

Ginaaaaaa · 06-02-2012, 09:04 AM

Deep fry..never thought of that. Too much grease and work for me. I bet they'd be good though!!

tobelowcarber · 06-02-2012, 04:20 PM

I wonder if could bake them in the oven at high temp?

Ginaaaaaa · 06-02-2012, 05:53 PM

Sure can.

Green Bean Fries... OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great but ugly snack!
