Parmesan-Pepper Green Bean Fries

Ingredients

• 2 large egg white(s), at room temperature
• 2 Tbsp water
• 1 cup(s) grated Parmesan cheese, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 3 1/2 oz)
• 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
• 12 oz uncooked string beans, trimmed (about 60)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg whites with water until foamy. In another shallow bowl, combine cheese and pepper.
3. Dip each string bean into egg white mixture; gently shake off any excess. Next, dip in cheese mixture and turn to coat; place on prepared pan and repeat with remaining ingredients (make sure fries do not touch or overlap on pan, and rewhip egg white mixture a few times as you prep the fries).
4. Bake until cheese has melted and browned a little, about 8 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and cool for a few minutes.
