Panko Crusted Green Beans with a Soy Garlic Aioli
My friend Maureen and I recently went out to dinner to celebrate her birthday and we had a wonderful panko-crusted green bean appetizer that we both loved. The restaurant fried their green beans and served them with a flavorful aioli sauce that was fantastic. I decided to recreate a much healthier version at home by baking my green beans. They turned out wonderful! They were crisp and crunchy on the outside without being greasy and the green beans were perfectly tender on the inside. I served them with a simple soy garlic aioli sauce made from mayonnaise, garlic, and soy sauce. This dish is best served fresh from the oven. My entire family gobbled these up with dinner and we loved them.
Panko Crusted Green Beans with a Soy Garlic Aioli Sauce:
Ingredients:
Soy Garlic Aioli Sauce:- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
Combine all ingredients together and mix well. Set aside.
Panko Crusted Green Beans
- 1 lb green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp milk
- Italian seasoned panko crumbs
- Cooking spray
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
How to Make Panko Crusted Green Beans with a Soy Garlic Aioli
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and coat it with cooking spray.
Combine the egg and milk together in a bowl; place the panko crumbs in a bowl. Dip the green beans into the egg mixture then coat them in the panko crumbs. Place the green beans on the baking sheet and repeat the process until all of the green beans are coated in panko. Spray the green beans with olive oil cooking spray then season them with a bit of sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Place into the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately with a side of the soy garlic aioli. Enjoy.

What a great idea of transforming green beans!
I dont think there are many good ways to cooking green beans but its nice to see there can be variety! I would love to try these. Maybe this weekend.
I have made the green beans many times, but never made to aioli for dipping. Thank you for the great idea!
Made these tonight. They were really good, despite overcooking them slightly and not getting to eat them right out of the oven–poor timing. Even with my own mistakes, they were still addictive!
I think this looks great. I’m having a dinner party. Could I dredge/coat the beans ahead of time, and then pop them in the oven later in the evening? Would they still work out?
thanks!
Sherry,
Sorry for my late reply, I have been on the road for 13 days.
You can certainly dredge/coat them beforehand. Place them on the baking sheet in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
