Wash and trim the green beans, removing the ends.

Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green.

Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to ice water to stop cooking.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in water and lemon zest.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients until smooth.

Dip each green bean into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated.

Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the coated green beans in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove the fried beans and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.
