Pro Tips For The Best Air Fried Cannellini Beans

If you’re anything like me, you love finding new and exciting ways to prepare your favorite foods. And if you’re a fan of cannellini beans, then boy do I have a treat for you! In this blog post, I’ll share some pro tips for making the best air-fried cannellini beans possible. So without further ado, let’s get started!

  • Drying: For a crispy batch of cannellini beans from the air fryer, you must dry the cannellini beans out before adding the oil and seasonings. This way, you get a crispy roasted cannellini bean.
  • Timing: remember that all air fryers cook at different times, so it is essential that you watch your cannellini beans as they cook up. Check frequently as they cook up, and remove when fully cooked (and crispy)
  • Double Batch: Since you want a single layer of cannellini beans, I would not recommend doubling or tripling the batch.
  • Shaking the Basket: I frequently shake the basket as they cook up to ensure that the cannellini beans are evenly cooked.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I Change The Seasoning?

Yes, there are so many variations to this recipe. I love Ranch Seasoning, Taco Seasoning, or even simple garlic and herb seasoning.

How To Store

Store any leftover beans in an open jar or container. Otherwise, they will start to get soggy.

How Long Do These Cannellini Beans Last?

I have found that these beans only last a day or two. After that, they start to get soggy. I recommend making them the same day you want to eat them.

How Can I Serve Air Fryer Cannellini Beans?

They are best served as a snack or appetizer. You can also serve them as a salad or soup topper.
