And the best part is, they come with a homemade creamy sriracha dip that adds the perfect touch to this irresistible recipe.

A Restaurant Favorite, Now Made at Home

Have you ever tasted fried green beans at a restaurant? They’re so good that we wanted to recreate them in our own kitchen. And guess what? They turned out to be even better than expected! The fresh green beans become beautifully tender, while the beer batter becomes wonderfully crispy as it fries. And with the addition of the sriracha aioli, these Beer Battered Fried Green Beans will quickly become a household favorite!

The Ingredients You’ll Need

To make these Beer Battered Fried Green Beans, here’s what you’ll need:

• Fresh green beans: You can find these in the produce section of your grocery store, or better yet, use homegrown green beans for a truly special touch.
• Flour, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt: These seasonings create the perfect flavor in the beer batter.
• Beer: Choose any type of beer you like. We recommend a classic American beer for that authentic taste.
• Vegetable oil: This is what you’ll use to fry the green beans.

For the creamy sriracha dip, you’ll need:

• Mayonnaise, sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt: These ingredients come together to make a creamy and spicy dipping sauce that pairs perfectly with the fried green beans.

How to Make Fried Green Beans

Making these Beer Battered Fried Green Beans is easier than you might think. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Start by whisking together the ingredients for the sriracha dipping sauce. Once mixed, cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve the fried green beans.
2. Next, toss the washed and trimmed green beans in 1/2 cup of flour until they are well coated. In a separate bowl or pie plate, mix together the remaining flour and seasonings.
3. Slowly add the beer to the flour mixture, stirring well until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to pour the beer in too fast, as it may cause the batter to become lumpy.
4. Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to 375ºF. Once the oil is hot, dip a green bean into the batter and gently drop it into the hot oil. It’s best to use heat-proof tongs to lower the green bean into the oil without splashing. Fry a small batch of green beans until they turn golden brown, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Repeat this process in small batches until all the green beans are battered and fried.
5. As you remove the fried green beans from the oil, place them on a baking sheet lined with a few layers of paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil and allow the green beans to cool down to an appropriate temperature for eating.
6. Serve the Beer Battered Fried Green Beans warm, alongside the chilled sriracha dipping sauce. Get ready for a burst of flavors and textures that will leave you wanting more!

Variations to Try

If you’re a fan of extra heat, you can easily kick up the spiciness of the green beans by doubling the amount of cayenne pepper in the beer batter. And don’t be shy with the sriracha sauce – add as much as you want to suit your taste.

For some visual variety, consider using both green and yellow beans. Yellow beans can be found in some grocery stores and make for an eye-catching addition to this dish. Using a combination of both green and yellow beans can make your plate even more colorful and exciting.

Not a fan of mayonnaise? No problem! You can substitute sour cream for the dipping sauce instead.

And for those following a vegan diet, this recipe can easily be modified. Just replace the mayonnaise in the dipping sauce with a vegan mayo, and you’re good to go!

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The sriracha dipping sauce should also be kept covered and refrigerated.

To reheat the green beans, simply place them on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 400ºF for a few minutes until warmed through.
