Crispy Butter Beans
Crispy Butter Beans are a healthy, high-fiber snack or appetizer made with a fresh and bright lemon-herb green sauce for dipping. They are so good, even my kids love them!
This healthy Butter Beans snack recipe is the only way you can get me to eat butter beans. I never liked butter beans, but when you bake them or air fry them they get crispy and make the perfect snack! Even my daughter, who hates beans, loved them! The air fryer is amazing at getting foods super crispy, but if you don’t have one, you can make them in the oven—they just don’t come out as crispy but they still taste good.
