I used to think I didn’t really like beans, but when I got an airfryer I decided to see what they’d be like if I cooked them differently. Amazing~✨
Smaller beans become a delicious crunchy topping or filling, highly recommended, but what’s really interesting is those huge butter beans. They’re disturbingly similar to chicken breast when cooked this way, so I cooked up some white rice, cut up some ice cold broccoli, and fried up some butter beans 8 minutes with walnut oil at 400o F
And that’s it! Super simple but so so sooo good.
The thin bean skins crisp up if you spray them with oil and if you salt them the meat of the bean loses its moisture to become almost chewy. Add some MSG and it’s savory little morsel.
Though other beans cook differently! Garbanzos basically just become little crunchy nuts, while red and black and kidneys are somewhere between the two.
