Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be careful not to overcrowd the fryer or saucepan, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy green beans.
- If you don't have a deep fryer, you can use a regular pot or saucepan filled with at least 2 inches of oil.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
- Serve the green beans immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or ketchup.
