2. Seasoning the beans: Toss the nuts with olive oil, kosher salt, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
3. Fried butter beans at 380°F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket every five minutes, then finish with a pinch of salt.
4. Green dipping sauce: Place bean liquid, parsley, mint, lemon juice and zest, oil, onion powder, and salt in a blender. and blend until smooth Transfer to a small bowl and sprinkle with cayenne pepper.
5. Serve grilled butter beans. With herbal lemon dipping sauce

Don’t have an air fryer? no problem!

These butter beans won’t get as crispy as they do in the oven. But what if you don’t have an air fryer? Preheat the oven to 400°F, making sure your beans are very dry. (It helps if you leave it on the counter a few hours before baking. Transfer the nuts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer (you may need to use more than one pan or bake in batches) and bake for 20 to 28 minutes or until the nuts are crisp and golden.

Various formats

• bean: Swap canned butter beans with canned giant beans. Other types of nuts They will be too small when cooked and cannot be “dipped”.
• spices: Alternate the spices and use cumin, chili powder, or garlic powder.
• Condiments: Use a variety of spice blends, such as steak, Cajun, or farm seasoning.
• orange: Replace the lemon with lime.
• Unwanted spices? Avoid cayenne pepper.

Storage space
