What You Need for Oven Fried Crispy Green Beans
- Fresh green beans – Crisp and tender, they’re the star of the show and deliver a satisfying bite.
- Panko breadcrumbs – Give each bean a perfectly light, crunchy coating that stays crisp.
- Ranch dressing mix – Infuses every bite with zesty, herby flavor.
- Eggs – Help the breadcrumb coating stick beautifully to each green bean.
- Olive oil spray – Ensures a golden, crispy texture without excess oil.
How to Make Oven Fried Crispy Green Beans
Preheat your oven to a hot 425°F to ensure maximum crispiness. Mix up the breadcrumbs with ranch mix and seasonings for a punch of flavor in every bite.
Dip each fresh green bean in beaten egg, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer for even cooking.
Spritz lightly with olive oil spray to help them crisp up nicely. Bake for about 10 minutes, flip, then bake a few more minutes until they’re golden brown and perfectly crunchy.
Tips & Tasty Twists for Oven Fried Crispy Green Beans
For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika to the breadcrumb mix. Want a cheesy twist? Mix in a bit of grated Parmesan for a savory boost.
Make the prep even quicker by using pre-trimmed green beans. If you’re feeding a crowd, shake your green beans and breadcrumbs together in a large zip-top bag for faster coating and less mess.
When baking, watch closely during the last few minutes or switch on the broiler briefly to get that extra crunch, but don’t step away — they can brown quickly.
Storing & Reheating Your Crispy Green Beans
Store any leftover Oven Fried Crispy Green Beans in an airtight container in the fridge. To bring back that just-baked crunch, skip the microwave and pop them in the oven or a toaster oven until heated through and crispy again.
Whether served as a snack, side dish, or party bite, these crispy green beans are a tasty way to satisfy a crunchy craving without the fryer. Enjoy every crispy, flavorful bite!

- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix
- ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
