Ingredients
Ingredients
- 400 g Canned butter beans drained and dried well
- 15 ml Olive oil or neutral oil
- 5 g Salt
- 2 g Black pepper
- 5 g Garlic powder optional
- 5 g Paprika optional
Instructions
- 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.
