Have you ever made crispy white beans? They are such a great snack idea that I learned about from @halburns on TikTok. You can use canned beans too but the texture is much better if you start with dry beans, plus less gas! 😉

Nutrition
Nutrition information provided is an estimate. It will vary based on cooking method and specific ingredients used.
What is the purpose of the nutritional yeast and is it necessary to soak the beans?
It adds a bit more flavor! If you use canned beans you do not have to soak them. If you cook them from dry, yes, you should soak the beans before cooking.
A Tasty and healthy snack
Happy you enjoyed them!
I don’t oven an air fryer. Could you give oven directions please? And thank you…
Hi there, I have not tried these in the oven yet myself, but I think you could roast them on a rimmed sheet pan in a 450˚F oven for about 15 minutes, stirring them halfway through cooking, until crisp.
Do can canned white kidney beans work the same?
You can use canned beans too but the texture is much better if you start with dry beans, plus less gas!
After you soak the beans, how do you cook them before putting them into the air fryer? Details please.
Hi there! I sometimes cook them in my instant pot using the “beans” setting, but you can also cook them on the stove top. Add the soaked beans to a pot and cover with water by 3 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 80 to 100 minutes, or until tender.
