Serving:

  1. Serve the crispy fried green beans warm with the prepared Sriracha mayo for dipping.

Notes:

  • If Sriracha mayo isn’t your preference, consider serving with creamy honey mustard sauce, comeback sauce, or ranch dressing.
  • Use regular green beans for this recipe; haricot verts are too thin and may not work well.
  • Choose an oil with a high smoking point, such as vegetable or canola oil, for frying.
  • Be careful not to over-mix the beer batter, as it may become tough if overworked.

Enjoy these delicious fried green beans as a delightful appetizer or snack, and savor the crispy goodness with a kick of Sriracha mayo! Perfect for any occasion or gathering.
