    Have you ever heard of lupini beans?  No?  Let me tell you about them because they’re pretty amazing and you should definitely be cooking with them.

    Cooked Lupini Beans with Lime Zest on Top

    Their texture is less floury and firmer than other legumes, and they have a full range of essential amino acids.  But here’s the amazing part – they have twice the amount of protein as chickpeas!  For vegetarians and vegans who struggle to get enough protein, these are excellent snacks.  You can buy them canned, in a glass jar, or vacuum-sealed.  Whichever way you go, make sure you give them a good rinse to rid them of the excess brine.

    • Roasted Lupini Beans in the Air Fryer

    Ingredients

    Ingredients to make this recipe
    • lupini
    • chili powder
    • oil
    • lime

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Step-by-step instructions with photos

    Lupini in a bowl with spices


    Step 1: Place the Lupini in a medium bowl and add the juice of one lime, chili powder, olive oil, and salt, pepper to taste. Mix well to combine everything

    Step 3: Close the air fryer, select 380˚F, and cook for 10 minutes

    The best way to elevate these to a whole new level is to air fry them.  They get light and crunchy.  After you’ve rinsed and drained the beans, mix them up with some spices – I use lime and chili powder.  You don’t need to add a lot of oil to get this crispy, I use just a teaspoon for an entire can of lupini beans.  Serve them as a snack, or as a topper for soups or salads.

    Substitutions

    • Lupini beans - instead of lupini, you can use chickpeas, but add 5 minutes to the cooking time.
    • Chili powder - go wild and use the spices that you love!
    • Oil - you can live out the oil if you prefer.

    Equipment

    Air Fryers are small ovens with a highly concentrated heat source and powerful fan that moves the hot air around to crisp up wings, fries, and veggies with little (or zero!) oil

    Cooking instructions in the Oven

    •      Preheat the oven to 400 ° F.
    •      Pat the lupini’s dry on paper towels. Add to the bowl and stir gently with the spices mixture.
    •      Place the lupins on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes stirring gently halfway 
    •      Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

    Storage

    Once cooked, these will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.  Unfortunately, they don’t freeze, but I usually have a can or two on hand.  It’s a great way to kill a snack craving and get a ton of protein all in one shot.

    FAQ

    Do you eat the skin of lupini beans?

    Lupini beans are commonly sold in brine in jars (like olives and pickles). They can be eaten by making a small tear in the skin with one's teeth and "popping" the seed directly into one's mouth, but can also be eaten with the skin on.
