Ingredients

1 pound green beans ends trimmed
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour divided use
1 cup beer
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
oil for frying
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Heat 3 inches of oil in a deep pot to 375 degrees F.
Coat the green beans in 1/2 cup flour, shaking off any excess.
In a medium bowl, mix together the remaining cup of flour, beer, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
Coat each green bean in batter, letting the excess batter drip back into the bowl.
Fry 8-10 green beans at a time until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Repeat the process with the remaining green beans.
Sprinkle with parsley, then serve immediately.

Notes

Use a spider skimmer to put the green beans in the oil and take them out of the oil.

You can use a whisk to remove any lumps from your batter mixture.

Use a thermometer to make sure the oil stays at 375 degrees F.

When you fry the green beans, keep the batter close to the oil so that you can easily transfer the battered green beans into the oil.
