Instructions
Crispy bean snack
Cheese dip
Tip
For the best result, place the seasoned beans in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding, as this can result in uneven cooking and hinder the beans from achieving a crispy texture. If necessary, cook them in batches to allow for sufficient airflow.
Tip
If you do not have an air fryer, do not worry! Simply bake the beans in the oven at 180°C for approximately 30 minutes. Although they may not turn out as crispy, rest assured they will have the same delicious taste.

This delectable dip not only adds a luscious and tangy element but also serves as a delightful complement to the spiciness of the beans. The combination of the cool and creamy cheese dip with the crispy and fiery beans creates a harmonious contrast of textures and flavours, resulting in a well-rounded and satisfying snacking experience.
Enjoy a delicious, puffed butter beans snack
Indulge in the delightful experience of savouring a bowl of puffed butter beans, a delicious and addictive snack. Whether you are looking for a satisfying snack or a unique appetiser to impress your guests, these puffed beans are a winner. Their mild and buttery flavour pairs wonderfully with a variety of seasonings and dips like our salad cheese herb dip and potent cayenne pepper and garlic powder.
Add your own touch
There are several ways to customise our recipe. You can explore different seasoning blends to create distinctive flavour profiles. Experiment with combinations like smoky paprika and cumin for a southwestern US twist or curry powder and turmeric for an aromatic Indian-inspired taste.
Or adjust the level of spiciness. If you prefer milder heat, you can reduce or omit the cayenne pepper. On the other hand, if you enjoy a spicier kick, use a bit more cayenne pepper or sprinkle in a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
Another way to shake things up is by exploring various dipping sauces or toppings. While our suggested creamy cheese dip is delightful, consider trying alternatives such as creamy yoghurt-based dips, tangy salsa, guacamole, or even a refreshing drizzle of lime juice.
