Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed) red kidney beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional for extra heat) cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed red kidney beans with olive oil. Toss well to ensure the beans are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice blend over the oiled kidney beans and toss again until the beans are evenly covered with the spices.
Spread the seasoned beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded.
Roast the beans in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes. Stir them halfway through baking to ensure they crisp up evenly.
Remove the beans from the oven once they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Let them cool for a few minutes as they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These roasted kidney beans are perfect as a snack, salad topping, or side dish. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
