Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 mL) cooked or canned black beans, drained & rinsed (see notes)
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) canola oil
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cumin
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) ground cayenne, or more if preferred
  • salt & ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position rack in middle of oven.
  • Dry beans with clean towel and put in medium mixing bowl. The more you dry, the less time in the oven.
  • Add oil to beans and toss to coat.
  • Combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne together in a small bowl, then sprinkle spice mix over beans and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Spread seasoned beans on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast in oven for about 30 minutes until dry and crisp, stirring once halfway through.
  • Cool on the tray and then serve, or once cooled, transfer to an airtight container to keep crisp. Enjoy!

Notes

  • A 19 oz (540 mL) can of black beans, drained and rinsed, yields 2 cups (500 mL) cooked beans. To cook up a batch of dry beans, check out our website for more info!
  • The beans can be roasted up to 1 day ahead. Make sure you cool completely and store in an airtight container. Can be served at room temperature or briefly reheated, about 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C).

We all loved these!! What a great idea. I changed the spices a bit to suit the rest of the meal.

Easy to make, nutritious snack. A keeper for sure
