Cut the ends off the green beans and remove the string if necessary.

Boil the green beans in salted water for about 4 minutes.

Prepare the batter by mixing 160 grams of flour, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 3 eggs, and the juice of half a lemon.

Add baking powder to the mixture and stir until the desired consistency is achieved.

Coat the boiled green beans in the batter.

Fry the coated green beans until golden brown, then transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
