Ingredients

• 2 cups dried soybeans
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the soybeans thoroughly under cold water and remove any debris or discolored beans.

Step 2

Place the soybeans in a large bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 8 hours or overnight. Drain and pat dry after soaking.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 4

Spread the soaked and dried soybeans onto the baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the soybeans and toss well to evenly coat them.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Sprinkle the herb and spice mixture over the soybeans and toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Step 8

Roast the soybeans in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even browning.

Step 9

Check the soybeans for doneness; they should be golden brown and crunchy. Roast for a few extra minutes if needed, but be careful not to burn them.

Step 10

Remove the soybeans from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Step 11

Store the cooled herbed soy snacks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy as a snack or as a crunchy topping for your favorite dishes!
