High protein and high fiber snack
These butter beans are so easy to make. You need to just soak (if using dry beans), boil, drain, pat dry, toss with spices and olive oil. After that, roast them crispy in an Air fryer or oven.
Moreover, in this recipe, you can choose endless seasoning options from fresh to dry – oregano, mixed herbs, rosemary, thyme, chives, dill, sumac, coriander leaves etc.
However, I have used onion powder, garlic powder, salt, red chilli powder, chaat masala and taco seasoning as the spice mix for this recipe.
The result is a plant based, high-protein, high-fiber snack recipe that is a better alternative to readymade fried, ultra-processed snacks.
