Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 15 ounce cans of beans, any kind, although I prefer butter beans
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon each dried sage, garlic powder, dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil , plus more as needed

Instructions 

  1. Set a rack to the center of the oven and preheat to 425°F.
  2. Drain and rinse the beans, but don't dry them. Add them to a large bowl.
  3. Sprinkle over the nutritional yeast, flour, spices and a few hefty pinches of kosher salt, about 1/2 teaspoon at least.
  4. Spread the beans out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and gently mix to coat.
  5. Bake for 22-24 minutes or until the beans are golden and crisp. Some will have popped open, which is totally fine, it just gives you more crispy, crunchy texture!
