Notes

Important Reminder: Every oven works slightly differently even when set at the same temperature. While this recipe provides as accurate directions as possible, you may need to adjust cooking times. Aim for that 25-minute mark and continue to check regularly for crispiness.
  • Tip 1 - Dry Beans Well: A crucially important step that can't be skipped if you want crispy beans. Ensure they are as dry as possible.
  • Tip 2 - Use Parchment Paper: This prevents the beans from sticking to the baking sheet and makes cleanup easier.
  • Tip 3 - Keep it Even: Your baking tray should be big enough to allow you to spread the beans in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
To store - Store at room temperature for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
