Roasted Cannellini Beans Instead of Popcorn
- One can cannellini beans (white kidney beans)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt (the salt that looks like hail)
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Drain the beans. I don't rinse them.
- Put beans in a bowl and toss with some olive oil to coat them lightly - maybe a tablespoon, maybe not.
- Add sea salt (the kind that looks like hail, did I say that?) Your discretion.
- Dump on cookie sheet and cook at 425° for ten minutes.
- Remove the beans from the oven and lower the temperature to 400°.
- Gently turn the beans in the cookie sheet over using a spatula.
- Return the beans to the 400° oven for 25 minutes or until they seem crunchy. The beans are very hot at this point and I've burned my tongue more times than I care to remember testing for crunchiness but I got the hang of it and they are delicious and nutritious when watching a movie.
Sounds great!! have you tried other beans?
ReplyDeleteI did - black beans and chickpeas. I'm sticking with cannellini.
