Ever wondered what to do with dried soybeans? This is the perfect occasion to find out what to make when your friends come over!!
Hello everybody,
It’s nice to have you back!
In this post, I will show you a simple yet delicious snack made out of soya beans. It will be both crunchy and spicy, sounds good right? 🙂
The preparation will start a day prior, where you will have to soak 2 cups of dried soybeans in a bowl of water. This will make them bigger, so count for some extra water in that bowl.
INGREDIENTS:
– 3 tbsp of oil (I made a mixture of sunflower and sesame for an extra punch)
– 3 tsp salt
– 2 tsp of chili (this really depends on how spicy YOU like it)
– 2 tsp of seasonal cajun and fennel mix (you can find these in almost any grocery store)
PREPARATION:
To start off the day of snacking, drain the soya beans and give them a good wash (take out the separated skins and the ‘not so good lookin’ ones’). After that, place them back in the bowl and add all the seasoning to it – give it a good mix. If you do this by hand, don’t be touching your eyes – trust me on this one!
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) on the FAN option. Take some baking paper and place it on a baking tray and nicely spread all the soya beans on it. Now it’s roasting time! The baking will take around 30 minutes, but take them out every 7-8 minutes to give them a mix, so they don’t burn that quickly.
At last, once you take them out of the oven, you can give them some extra flavor with 2 tsp of dried paprika and then transfer them to some kitchen paper so it soaks out the extra oil.
Enjoy!!
