Ingredients

Scale

For the Beer Batter and Green Beans

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup beer (any light or medium-bodied beer)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Sriracha Dipping Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Slowly whisk in the beer until you achieve a smooth batter with no lumps.
  2. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep pan or fryer and heat it to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it’s hot enough for frying to achieve crispiness.
  3. Batter the green beans: Make sure the green beans are patted dry. Dip them into the prepared beer batter, fully coating each bean.
  4. Fry the green beans: Carefully drop the battered green beans into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
  5. Drain excess oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried green beans and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  6. Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and salt to taste. Mix well until smooth.
  7. Serve: Serve the crispy beer-battered green beans hot alongside the sriracha dipping sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure green beans are thoroughly patted dry before battering for better adhesion and crispiness.
  • Adjust the seasoning in the batter and sauce according to your personal taste preferences.
  • Do not overcrowd the frying pan to maintain the oil temperature and achieve even crisping.
  • If preferred, substitute beer with sparkling water for a non-alcoholic option, but flavor will slightly differ.
