Roasted black beans are a thing of beauty – delicious as a healthy vegan snack, salad topping, or finishing touch to a soup dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1x 14 oz (400 g) tin black beans, drained and rinsed
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika ((or ½ teaspoon for a stronger flavour))

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).

  2. 2

    After draining and rinsing the black beans, spread them out on a paper towel or kitchen towel and gently pat dry.

  3. 3

    Drizzle the oil over a baking sheet. Add the black beans, sprinkle with salt, and shake gently to create an even layer. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, shaking the pan every now and then.

  4. 4

    After 20 minutes, remove from the oven and sprinkle over the cumin and smoked paprika. Shake to coat the beans and then return to the oven for another 10 minutes or until they're slightly crispy but not overcooked.

  5. 5

    Once crispy, remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving. Some of the beans will likely pop open or split in half during cooking, which is completely normal.📸 Recipe steps >📖 Table of contents >
