Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.

- Put the beans on a baking tray and sprinkle over garlic powder and nutritional yeast and drizzle with sesame oil and soya sauce. Give them a gentle mix with your hands to ensure they're well covered and spread them out on the tray so that they're in a single layer.***Quick Tip*** You can also mix oil, soya sauce, garlic powder and nutritional yeast in a bowl and pour it over the beans on a tray.1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon soya sauce or tamari (if gluten-free), ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
- Roast in preheat oven for 20-25 minutes (giving them a stir half way through) until they're nice and crispy. Enjoy!
Notes
- Nutritional information is approximate, per serving (based on 3 servings) and should be treated as a rough guideline only.
- Best consumed fresh but will store in the airtight container for up to 5 days. They will start loosing crispness the longer they're stored so you might want to refresh them in the oven until crispy again.
- Freezing not recommended.
Be gentle yet thorough when drying the beans. The less moisture the crispier the beans.
Don't worry too much if some of them get a bit squashed when drying. It will actually give them more surface area for getting crispy.
Change up the flavourings if you want. There are so many different spices you could use, think smoked paprika, cumin, perhaps chilli flakes. Use a little miso paste mixed with some maple syrup for that sweet'n'salty vibe.
Get ahead and make a double batch! They disappear so fast you'll regret if you don't.
More of a warning rather than a tip. These are extremely moreish and hard to put down so...⬆️ (read the tip above). Consider yourself warned.
