You Can Roast Coffee Beans At Home Using Your Air Fryer
BY KAT LIEU
An oven, wok, or frying pan are popular tools for roasting coffee beans at home, but you can also conveniently roast them in your air fryer to your desired doneness.
Start by preheating your air fryer to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Once it's heated, place the beans in the basket, ensuring that they're spread out in a single layer with no overlap.
Set your timer to approximately 40 minutes, but keep an eye on the process. If you like a light roast, remove the beans when you hear them audibly "crack" for the first time.
For a dark roast, let the beans roast for about 12 minutes after the initial crack. Once a second crack resounds and the beans take on a dark hue, your dark roast is complete.
After roasting, let the beans sit uncovered in a single layer at room temperature to cool off and release carbon dioxide. Once cooled, you can store them or use them immediately.
