Fried Green Beans with Sriracha Mayo

Ingredients for Sriracha Mayo:

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Sriracha
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Ingredients for Fried Green Beans:

1 1/4 lb. fresh green beans, trimmed and well dried
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (divided for dredging and batter)
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup beer
Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

Prepare Sriracha Mayo:
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. Set aside.

Dredge & Batter Preparation:
Place a 1/2 cup of flour on a medium shallow plate for dredging the green beans.

In a large bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of flour with ground cayenne pepper, cumin, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Slowly stir in the beer until just combined to make the batter.

Frying:

In a large Dutch oven or heavy stockpot, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil to 375°F.

Dredge the green beans through the flour on the shallow plate, then using tongs, dip the floured green beans into the batter.

Gently place the battered green beans into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crisp, turning once, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove the fried green beans and drain on layered paper towels.

Serving:

Serve the fried green beans warm with the Sriracha mayo for dipping.
Notes:

If Sriracha mayo doesn’t suit your taste, you can serve these with creamy honey mustard sauce, comeback sauce, or ranch dressing instead.

Use regular green beans for this recipe, as haricot verts are too thin and do not work well.

Choose an oil with a high smoking point, like vegetable or canola oil, for frying.

Do not over-mix the beer batter; it should be just combined to avoid toughening.
