Crispy Butter Beans are a healthy, high-fiber snack or appetizer made with a fresh and bright lemon-herb green sauce for dipping. They are so good, even my kids love them!

Instructions
- Dry the beans well on paper towels until completely dried.
- If baking in the oven instead, preheat the oven to 400°F. Be sure your beans are very dry (it helps if you leave them on the counter a few hours before baking.)
- In a medium bowl, toss beans with 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the onion powder and smoked paprika.
- Transfer the beans to a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer (you may need to use more than one pan or bake in batches), and bake for 20 to 28 minutes, stirring half way or until the beans are crisp and golden.
- Transfer to the air fryer basket and air fry 380F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes. When done, finish with sea salt.
- While the beans cook, make the dipping sauce. Combine 1/3 cup of the bean liquid, parsley, mint, lemon zest, lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon onion powder and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender.
- Blend until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl & top with chili flakes.
- Serve the roasted beans with green dipping sauce.

Notes
- Canned gigante beans can be used in place of canned butter beans and get the same treatment. You may need to add a minute or 2 more. Any other bean will get too small and not be “dippable”.
