You may have heard or tried roasted garbanzo beans but have you tried roasted white beans? As the skins aren’t as thick as garbanzo, the skins pop open as they roast making them more crunchy!
You can use any white beans such as Cannellini, Great Northern, Butter, etc. I made a batch with all 3 to see if there was a difference. Since the butter beans are bigger in size, I did prefer adding those as the beans shrink when roasted.
The most important factor is the beans need to be completely DRY before roasting, otherwise it will be not be crispy. I usually lay out the beans on the baking tray in the morning or when I know I will be making them to dry out moisture before roasting.
Add your favorite spices, oil and optional garlic or herbs for an addictive snack or salad topping. I used Garcia De La Cruz Organic Garlic Olive Oil for garlic flavor in every bite!
