Enjoy these tasty low carb gluten free oven fried green beans alone or paired with your favorite grilled meat. Baked with Parmesan cheese and almond flour.
I have been wanting to try oven baked green bean fries for a while. I’ve seen several recipes online and they all seemed pretty quick and easy so I decided to finally give it a try.
My two year old daughter eats regular cooked green beans like french fries so I thought she would really enjoy these oven fried green beans. I’d say green beans are probably my family’s favorite vegetable so we have them often.
Last year, we planted a couple green bean plants in the garden and it was nice to cook them up right after picking. I’d like to grow more green beans in the garden this summer since we love them so much.

This is a super simple way to cook up green beans. Most of the recipes I found used either olive oil, eggs or a combination to moisten the green beans. Then, the coating was added in the same bowl and tossed to coat.
The recipes I found used a mix of Parmesan cheese and spices, but I decided to throw some almond flour into the mix. Although I thought these green beans were pretty tasty, I may try to change up the coating mix next time with different spices and or cheese. You really can’t go wrong with cooking up green beans, unless you happen to totally overcook them.
I picked up a pound of green beans at our local ALDI. They didn’t look like the freshest batch, but they hadn’t completely spoiled. I think they may have just been around for a while since picked and possibly handled a bit rough. Not a big deal to me. I was coating them anyway.
You don’t have to line the pans with foil, but I like that it makes cleanup easier. You could probably skip drizzling the pans with oil if you want. However, I like to take in as much fat as I can because fat intake is really important when you live a low carb lifestyle.
These tasty oven fried green beans are definitely something that I will make again. It’s such a simple recipe that works well for a busy weekday dinner after work. My daughter didn’t seem to like the added coating on the green beans. I think she is just used to eating the vegetable plain so it was the different texture that threw her off. That’s okay because I really liked them and was able to eat the rest of them over the next few days.

Hello! These look fantastic. I cannot wait to make them. How many are in a serving size?
Lisa says
It’s about 8-10 green beans per serving.
Aimee says
Have you ever used the fresh frozen green beans? If so, do you thaw them out first or leave frozen? Did you adjust the oven temperature and cook time? Thanks in advance!! Hoping to try tonight 🙂
Lisa says
I’d use them frozen and adjust cooking temp/time. I’ve never tried it, so it would take some experimenting.
Malia Short says
Did you end up trying them frozen? I couldn’t find fresh so all I have is frozen with the same question. To thaw or no to thaw. Let me know if they worked out. Making tomorrow for family dinner.
Lani says
This recipe sounds fantastic. Easy is right up my alley. Thank you for sharing. I need to learn to eat more low carb and more gluten free, eating healthier. I’m not a big cook so this recipe and ones like it are great for me. Thank you again. I don’t think you have too many adds either.

Thanks Lani!
Debra Ochoa says
I want to make these tonight. Did u use fresh grated parmesan cheese, or the one in the green can?
Lisa says
The can.
michelle says
Excited to have found this site. Thank you
Lisa says
Great to have you here Michelle!
Shelby says
These turned out great!! Used some shredded parm along with the grated. I will definitely make them again.
Lisa says
Glad they worked out! 🙂
Ashley says
I followed the instructions exactly and had to toss my beans in an egg paste, and they are too ugly to make my kids want to eat them. I guess I should have thought it through, but I have three kids who keep interrupting me and I didn’t have time to evaluate. Only after it was over did I scroll down and read the comments where you said you needed to clarify. Please change the instructions!
Lisa says
Thanks for the reminder. I have added clarification to the recipe based on your comment and the other.
Debra says
Do you use real parmesan or the stuff in the green can?
Lisa says
I used the stuff in the can for this one.
Lisa says
I made these tonight and they were excellent! The only thing I did differently was add a bit more parm. So excited to try your other recipes now! Thanks so much for sharing this.
Lisa says
You’re welcome Lisa. The more cheese the better!
Denise says
When I enter the recipe into My Fitness Pal they come up with different calorie per serving? Any idea why the discrepancy? Was really looking forward to this recipe, but they have it listed as 365 calories per serving?
Lisa says
I believe I used Calorie Count to calculate for this recipe. It really depends on the ingredients chosen. Each ingredient can vary depending on brand selected and the accuracy of the data.
Kelly says
Do you toss the beans in the egg/oil mixture first and then in the spices, cheese and flour? It’s not written that way, but seems like that would make sense??
Lisa says
That is what was done. I guess I need to clarify.
Carol says
I’m on atkins so I think ill melt butter and roll in parm. Sound delish.
Lisa says
That does sound delicious!
Nanabella says
You could also try crushed pork rinds…😃

Sorry about the ads. I will be reducing them when traffic is better.

Ads are hecka tacky!
Lisa says
It’s on the list to tone down, but needed right now to fix some of the blog issues.
Jessica says
Ads aren’t tacky, they are a perfectly reasonable way to support an amazing food blog as needed. Yours is one of my favorites and I use and enjoy your recipes all the time! Keep being awesome and thanks for sharing that awesomeness with all of us.
Lisa says
Thanks so much for understanding Jessica! 🙂
Danielle says
Do you have to use almond flour or can you skip it?
Lisa says
You could add more cheese in place of the almond flour.
Estelle says
