These crispy air fryer butter beans are one of my favorite non-boring healthy snacks. They are crunchy, flavorful, and an easy way to get more fiber into your day.

Red Lentil Soda Bread
Soak overnight
300g dried red lentils
300ml water

The next day
35g psyllium husk
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 level teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
1/2-1 level teaspoon sea salt flakes
220-250ml water

Method
1. Soak the dried lentils and water in a covered bowl overnight. They should have absorbed all of the water and doubled in weight.

2. The next day- turn the oven to 200C ( I used convection). Add all the other ingredients to a food processor. Add 200 mls of water and build up slowly. The psyllium husk will continue to thicken the mixture. Process at high-speed until the dough is smooth and there are no signs of lentil pieces left. If the dough is too wet, it may not cook through- too dry and it will be too crumbly. Add some more psyllium husk if the mixture is too wet and allow to sit for 10 minutes.

3. Allow the mixture to stiffen up slightly, it should have the texture of Play-Doh. Form into a round shape and score the top into a cross. Sprinkle with seeds (I used black and white sesame seeds)

4.Bake for one hour to 1 hour 15 minutes until completely cooked through.

Enjoy!
