Instructions
- 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).
