Butter beans are creamy and mild, perfectly crispy when air-fried. This simple recipe turns them into a delightful snack with just a light coating of oil and your favorite seasonings.
Drain and rinse the canned butter beans under cool running water. Pat them dry with paper towels until they are free of excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, lightly coat the beans with olive oil and sprinkle salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings you prefer. Toss to ensure even coverage.
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Place the seasoned beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry the beans for about 8–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. Start checking at 7 minutes to prevent overcooking.
Once they are golden and crisp, remove from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Tip: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for best results. Dry beans thoroughly for maximum crispiness.
