INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup raw soy nuts (soybeans)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or any cooking oil of your choice
- Salt to taste
- Optional seasonings: Chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, toss the raw soy nuts with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
Spread the coated soy nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roast the soy nuts in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent over-browning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the roasted soy nuts with salt while they are still warm. Toss to evenly distribute the salt.
If you want to add optional seasonings, sprinkle them over the roasted soy nuts while they are still warm and toss to coat.
Allow the roasted soy nuts to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
Optional Seasonings:
- For a spicy kick, add chili powder or cayenne pepper.
- For a savory flavor, sprinkle with garlic powder and cumin.
- For a smoky twist, use smoked paprika.
