Ingredients
- 2 15- oz cans cooked fava beans
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F (200° C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drain and rinse the broad beans, then transfer them into a clean towel. Pat them until they are reasonably dry.
- Arrange the dried broad beans in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet and place them in the oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes while whisking together the ingredients for the coating in a medium-sized bowl: lemon juice, nutritional yeast, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and salt.
- Once the 25 minutes have elapsed, add the dry-roasted fava beans to the coating in the bowl and mix well.
- Now, place them back on the baking sheet in a single layer and roast them for 15 more minutes, until crispy.
- Remove the baking sheet and let them cool for at least 10 minutes before eating!
Notes
- You can also use frozen broad beans. Just place them under running warm water until they reach room temperature or let them de-frost otherwise.
- Feel free to remove their skins before roasting them if you prefer a crunchier texture.
- Watch your roasting broad beans in the oven for the last 10 minutes or so as they can go from crispy to burned rather quickly.
- You can let the freshly baked beans cool for about an hour before snacking them so they become crispier.
