Creating Crispy Green Beans is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) if you are baking them. If frying, prepare your frying oil in a deep skillet.
2. Prepare Green Beans: Rinse the green beans and trim the ends. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
3. Set Up Breading Station: Create a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat the Beans: Dip each green bean into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each bean is fully covered.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: If baking, place the coated green beans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space them out to allow for even cooking.
6. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the beans with cooking spray or drizzle with a little oil for added crispiness.
7. Bake or Fry: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy. If frying, carefully place the beans in the hot oil and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
8. Drain Excess Oil: If frying, remove the beans and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
9. Serve Immediately: For the best texture, serve the crispy green beans right away while they are still hot and crunchy.
