    High Protein Vegan Snack

    Let me introduce you to our mouthwatering high-protein vegan beans snack!

What's great is you can use them to elevate your salads, tacos, or wraps – they add an unforgettable burst of flavor. 

    We've jazzed them up with a blend of chat masala, garlic powder, chili flakes, and a touch of coconut sugar to achieve that perfect sweet and spicy balance. And here's the fun part: you can experiment with different spices and herbs to tailor the taste to your liking. If you're all about savory, simply skip the coconut sugar. So, get ready for a snack that's not just delicious but also versatile – your taste buds will thank you!

    Ingredients you Need 

    • Cellini Beans: These beans take the spotlight in our recipe, and when they're roasted, they transform into this amazing, flaky, and crispy texture that elevates the whole snack. If you ever run out of them, feel free to swap them with white beans, red beans, or even black beans. 
    • Garbanzo Beans: also, lovingly known as chickpeas, are the stars of our show! These little powerhouses are your ticket to a perfect, crispy roasted snack that's not only delicious but also high in both fiber and protein. If you're out of chickpeas, you can easily swap in lentils, split peas, or any other variety of beans for a delicious alternative. 
    • Olive oil: It plays a crucial role in achieving that perfect crispy roast for your beans. If you prefer, you can easily swap it out for any plant-based oil. Just remember, choose an oil that's neutral in both taste and color so that it lets the delicious flavors of your bean snack shine through. 
    • Seasoning: To make this delicious sweet and spicy bean snack I am using Chat masala, Garlic powder, Chili flakes, Coconut Sugar, Salt, and pepper as a seasoning. Feel free to get creative and adjust the seasoning to match your personal taste. 
    • Lemon Zest: To sprinkle a burst of fresh citrus punch into your snack, taking the flavors to a whole new level.

    How To Make the Crispy Beans Snack 

    Here's a step-by-step guide to making Crispy Roasted Beans Snack: 

    Preparation 

    Preheat your oven to 177 °C (350°F) and line an oven tray with parchment paper. This will prevent the beans from sticking to the tray and make for easy cleanup. 

    Prepare the Beans 

    Start by draining and rinsing the Garbanzo and Cellini beans under running tap water. Next, place them in a bowl and pour over some boiling water.

    Washing and draining the beans.

    Let them sit for a while, then drain and gently pat them dry with paper towels. This crucial step ensures that the chickpeas and beans turn delightfully crispy when roasted. If you have time and can leave them air dry on the countertop for another 30 minutes that will be great for achieving the right crispy texture.

    Roasting the Beans

    Spread the chickpeas and mixed beans evenly on the prepared baking tray. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep a watchful eye on them and remove them from the oven when they turn golden and perfectly crisp.

    Prepare the Seasoning

    While your beans are roasting, you can prepare the seasoning mixture. In a separate bowl, combine the chat masala, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, black pepper, and coconut sugar. Adjust the chili flakes to match your preferred level of spiciness.

    Toss and Coat

    Once your chickpeas and beans are done roasting, remove them from the heat and while they are still warm, drizzle them with a tablespoon of olive oil. Then, generously sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the roasted beans. Toss them until they are thoroughly coated, ensuring that the flavors are evenly distributed. 

    Zesty Finish

    To add a burst of freshness, garnish your roasted beans snack with some lemon zest. The zest provides a zingy contrast to the savory and spicy seasonings.

    Storage 

    Storing your crispy roasted bean snack is easy, and here's a simple storage guide: 

    • Cool Completely: Ensure that your roasted beans have cooled completely before storing them. This helps prevent moisture buildup in the container. 
    • Use an Airtight Container: Transfer the beans to an airtight container, preferably a glass or plastic one with a tight-sealing lid. This prevents moisture, air, and odors from affecting the snack's crispiness and flavor. 
    • Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep the airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. A pantry or cupboard works well. 
    • Avoid Humidity: Moisture can make your crispy beans lose their crunch, so it's essential to keep them away from humid environments. A desiccant packet can help absorb excess moisture in the container. 
    • Consume Within 4 to 7 Days: For the best flavor and texture, it's recommended to enjoy your Crispy Roasted Beans Snack within 4 to 7 days of making them. They might stay edible for longer, but their crispiness may diminish over time.

    What to Serve with Beans Snack? 

    This high protein vegan snack is a versatile treat that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with various accompaniments. Here are some ideas for what to serve with your beans snack: 

    • Dips: Create a dipping station with a variety of dips. Consider classics like hummus, Coriander Chutney, or Spicy Tahini Sauce. These dips add creaminess and extra flavor to each crunchy bite. 
    • Salads: Add your crispy beans as a topping to salads. They bring a wonderful crunch and protein boost to your greens. Try them with a simple Spinach Salad or a hearty Butternut Squash Salad. 
    • Cheese Platter: Pair your beans with a selection of vegan cheeses, crackers, and fresh fruits. The beans' crunch complements the creamy and savory nature of cheese, creating a delightful contrast. 
    • Wrap or Sandwich: Incorporate the beans into a wrap or sandwich for an extra layer of texture. Consider Mushroom Wrap. 
    • Soups: Elevate the flavors of Asparagus Mushroom Soup or Taco Soup by adding this bean snack as a topping. They add a flavorful and crunchy element to hot, comforting bowls of soup. 
    • Trail Mix: Combine your beans with nuts, dried fruits, and a touch of chocolate for a custom trail mix. It's an excellent option for on-the-go snacking. 
    • Mashed Squash: Add a unique twist to Butternut Squash Mash by sprinkling your crispy beans on top. It's a delightful and unexpected combination.

    Notes

    1. Properly drying the beans after rinsing is crucial for achieving the desired crispiness. Use paper towels to gently pat them dry, removing excess moisture.
    2. While roasting, make sure to stir the beans occasionally. This helps them cook uniformly and prevents burning. It's especially important if your oven has hot spots.
    3.  Roast the beans at a lower temperature for a longer time to get that perfect crispiness without burning. Patience is key.
    4. To ensure that the seasoning sticks well to the beans, add it while they're still warm from the oven. The heat helps the flavors adhere.
