Hg's Fiber-Fried Green Beans W/Spicy Cucumber Ranch Dip - 2 Pts.
- 3 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons cucumbers, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon nonfat sour cream
- 1 12 teaspoons dry ranch dressing mix (a.k.a. Dip Mix)
- 14 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 1 dash cayenne pepper
- 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
- 34 cup all-bran cereal, ground to a breadcrumb-like consistency in a food processor (Fiber One Original)
- 14 cup liquid egg substitute, fat free (like Egg Beaters Original)
- 12 teaspoon onion powder
- 12 teaspoon garlic powder
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 18 teaspoon black pepper
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine dip ingredients in a food processor or small blender (our Magic Bullet works wonders!).
- Blend until smooth.
- Place dip in a dish, and then cover and chill in the fridge.
- Place the green beans in a large pot with 4 cups of water.
- Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, cook for 9 minutes.
- Carefully drain the beans, and then place them in cold water for a few minutes to stop the cooking process.
- Drain and dry them well.
- Put the egg substitute in a small bowl, and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the Fiber One "breadcrumbs" with the spices (add extra seasonings, if you like).
- Cover a large baking pan with aluminum foil and/or nonstick spray.
- Set aside.
- Place about 1/3rd of the crumb mixture into a large sealable plastic bag.
- One by one, dip green beans into the egg substitute, and place them in the bag with the breadcrumbs -- continue this with 1/3rd of the beans.
- Seal the bag and shake it up.
- Remove the "breaded" green beans, and place them on the pan.
- Repeat this process two more times, so all of the beans are coated.
- Pop the pan in the oven and cook for 16 minutes, flipping green beans halfway through cooking.
- Beans are done once they're crispy.
- Allow green beans to cool slightly, and then serve with the dip.
- Yum!
