Green Bean Fries

It took 3 attempts to nail this but boy was it worth it! When I go to TGI's (which isn't that often to be fair!) I tend to order 3 things most often, a cajun pasta (which i'm highly likely to do!), Sesame Jack Daniels chicken strips (which we made recently!) and green bean fries, which as the title suggests is this very video! So with the help of my budget fryer I set out to make my own including the ranch dip, i'm not actually sure if TGI's still do these in some places, but the final taste was incredible, a super close clone to TGI's. Soft in the middle, crispy batter that lightly coats the green bean dunked in that slightly tangy ranch dip, extremely addictive things! Hope you give this a go, it'll probably work in an air fryer too!
