Home-made: Roasted Spiced Beans


For a healthy snack, try roasting your own beans at home!  It's healthy and very addictive!

From Mky:

Ingredients used are red kidney, white cannellini and garbanzo beans.

Method:
Drain the three tins of beans and then rinse them thoroughly. Drain again and pat dry with kitchen towels. Place beans in single layer on cookie sheet lined with tinfoil or baking paper, Silpat etc.

Toss beans thoroughly in 1+tbsp olive oil, followed by your choice of dry spices to coat. Today I used white truffle oil and truffle rock salt, paprika and a bit of turmeric for colour. Roast at 200-220 deg Celsius for 45-60 mins depending on your oven. It can end up crispy or firm and bitey in texture, depending on your heat and duration of roasting.

In addition, you can try salt, garlic powder and black pepper as a combo, or cinnamon and sugar for a sweet version, or a variety of "Italian" herbs, or rosemary with truffle oil, etc. The variations are endless!


Update (3 Jun '12): One of our friends tried the following mix and commented that it was "so easy and addictive!"
Garbanzo beans, butter beans and cannellini, seasoning was hot curry powder, garlic oil and pink salt.
