METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, lemon zest and the Tuscan seasoning on a large plate.
Season with salt and pepper.
Whisk the egg whites in a wide shallow dish until frothy.
Working with 3-4 beans at a time, coat the beans in the egg white then place in crumbs and gently turn to coat. Place carefully on a flat tray.
Heat ½ cm of oil in a large sauté pan and cook the beans for 1 minute each side until golden and just tender. Drain on kitchen towels.
