Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Dried soybeans
- 6 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (optional for added flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoon Seasoning of choice (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, or chili powder)
Instructions
Rinse the dried soybeans thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
Place the soybeans in a large bowl and add 6 cups of water. Allow them to soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. The beans will expand as they soak.
Drain the soaked soybeans and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Make sure they are as dry as possible to ensure even roasting.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread the dried soybeans evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Drizzle the soybeans with olive oil (if using) and sprinkle with salt. Toss gently to ensure all the beans are coated.
Roast the soybeans in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes to ensure even browning. The soybeans should turn golden brown and crunchy.
If desired, sprinkle your preferred seasoning (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, or chili powder) over the roasted soybeans during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
Remove the soybeans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to an airtight container for storage.
Enjoy your homemade soy nuts as a healthy on-the-go snack or as a topping for salads and soups!
