Baked "Fried" Green Beans - can also be made vegan

My garden is over run with green beans.   I am a happy camper.  I love the multitude of things we can make with green beans.  This is one of my new favorites.  And it can be baked so you don't have the "fry" calories!  This recipe is very similar to my baked tomatoes, just a little bit different.  You will need:
Green beans (about a pound and a half)
Pam
1/2 cup of flour
Salt and Pepper
1/2 cup of egg replacer (vegan use vegan egg replacer)
couple dashes of hot sauce
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup corn meal.
1.) Preheat the oven to 400.  Cut off the stem end of the green beans.  Put the green beans in a microwave safe dish.  Put a wet paper towel on top of the green beans.  Microwave on high for approximately 3 minutes.  You want them semi soft.  Immediately run the the beans under cold water and let them sit in the cold water while you set up your breading stations.
2.)  On a paper plate, place the flour.  Season with salt and pepper.  In a bowl put the egg replacer and mix in the hot sauce.  On another paper plate combine the Panko and the corn meal.
3.)  Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with Pam.  Drain the green beans and lightly pat dry.  Using a fork, coat the beans in the flour, then the egg mixture and lastly the panko mixture.  Put on the baking sheet.  Spray the green beans with a coating of Pam.
4.)  Bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes.  Turn off the oven, turn on the broiler.  Allow the beans to get brown and crispy.  Turning them frequently.  Pay attention at this point, you do not want to burn the green beans.
5.)  I served my green beans with a low calorie creamy Italian salad dressing sprinkled with crushed black pepper.  Enjoy!
