Crunchy Breaded Butter Beans Snack
Plant-Based Crunchy Beans Ready in Minutes!
With a crispy exterior and a tender center, these oven-baked Crunchy Breaded Beans are the ultimate plant-based snack for any occasion. Easily prepared using organic or conventional GOYA® Butter Beans or Cannellini, they’re tossed with smoked paprika, cumin, and GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil, then baked until golden brown. This light, crunchy snack is perfect for solo nibbling, sharing as an appetizer, or adding a bit of texture to your favorite salads and bowls. We love serving them with hummus and a zesty Spanish-style salsa or picada. Try making them at home—even in an air fryer for that perfect crunch—and check out our 100% plant-based tip too!
