Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup soybeans dried
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

• Place 1 1/2 of dried soybeans in a mixing bowl with about 6 cups of water or until beans are completely covered by two inches of water. Let the beans soak 12 to 15 hours overnight.
• Rinse and drain beans. Remove any skins or broken beans and throw away.
• Preheat oven to 300F. Spread soybeans on a clean dry towel or a few single use towels to remove excess moisture. (Removing the excess moisture will help them get crispy).
• Place parchment paper on a sheet pan, drizzled with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add the soybeans and gently hand toss the soybeans in oil and roll them around the pan until the beans are very lightly coated with oil and are evenly distributed. Alternatively, use a mister to lightly coat the beans in olive oil.
• Place the pan in the oven and roast the beans without seasoning for 60 to 90 minutes. Stir the soybeans every 15 to 20 minutes or until they reach a dark caramel color and they are crispy and not chewy. Watch carefully the last 15 minutes so they don’t get over cooked.
• While the beans are roasting place all the seasonings in a small bowl.
• Remove the crispy beans from the oven and sprinkle with the seasoning to taste. Save any remaining seasoning for another use. Let the beans cool completely before storing in an airtight container or portioning out into individual snack containers.
