Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups dried soybeans
- 6 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the dried soybeans thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
In a large bowl, soak the soybeans in 6 cups of water for 8 hours or overnight. This will help soften the beans and prepare them for roasting.
Drain and rinse the soaked soybeans. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Spread the soybeans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
If using, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the soybeans and gently toss to coat them evenly. Sprinkle the salt on top for seasoning.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the soybeans for 40–45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Check for doneness by tasting a soybean. They should be golden brown and crunchy. If they’re still slightly soft, roast for an additional 5–10 minutes.
Once roasted to your liking, remove the soybeans from the oven and let them cool completely. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
Store the roasted soy nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy as a snack or use as a topping for salads or soups!
