Ingredients

Scale

For the Sriracha Mayo

  • 1 cup light mayo
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust according to heat preference)
  • 1 pinch salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (fresh garlic can be substituted)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

For the Fried Green Beans

  • 1 pound fresh green beans (vibrant and crisp)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for crispy texture)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground recommended)
  • 1 cup beer (seltzer or club soda are good substitutes)
  • Vegetable oil (about 1 inch depth for frying)
  • Salt, garlic powder, and onion powder (additional, to season batter as preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sriracha Mayo: In a small bowl, whisk together the light mayo, Sriracha, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth and well blended. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Make the Batter: On a shallow plate, pour out some all-purpose flour for dredging the green beans. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the remaining flour with ground cayenne pepper, cumin, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Gradually stir in the beer, mixing just until combined to create a smooth batter.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour about an inch of vegetable oil into a Dutch oven or deep pot and heat to 375°F (190°C), using a thermometer to maintain the temperature for perfect frying.
  4. Coat the Green Beans: Dip each green bean first into the plain flour on the shallow plate, shaking off any excess. Then coat it thoroughly in the prepared beer batter.
  5. Fry the Green Beans: Carefully place the coated green beans into the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Avoid overcrowding the oil to keep the temperature consistent.
  6. Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried green beans onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil and keep them crispy.
  7. Serve Warm: Serve the crispy fried green beans immediately alongside the zesty Sriracha mayo dip for a delectable appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • For milder flavor, omit the cayenne pepper from the batter.
  • Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder in the Sriracha mayo for a more vibrant flavor.
  • Substitute beer with seltzer or club soda for a non-alcoholic batter option.
  • Ensure oil temperature stays consistent at 375°F for optimal crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the frying pot to avoid temperature drops and soggy coating.
  • Light mayo reduces calories without compromising creaminess in the dip.
  • The fried green beans are best served immediately to enjoy maximum crunch.
