We love fresh green beans in this. When we have an abundance of them growing in the garden, we turn them into fries. If you don't grow green beans in your garden, you can buy fresh ones at the grocery store. If you have frozen green beans that you want to use, let them thaw completely, then make sure to really pat them dry, then follow this recipe. They won't come out as crisp as fresh green beans, but they'll still taste good. We don't recommend using canned green beans in this recipe. It won't come out the same at all.
