Soybeans are an all-round talent and are used in a variety of ways in the kitchen. They are healthy and provide plenty of protein, nutrients and fiber. They are roasted for a delicious snack between meals.

Roasted soybeans are a healthy treat

Roast soybeans

Before the beans can be roasted, they must be soaked in cold water for at least twelve hours, preferably overnight. Prepared in this way, they can be roasted the next day.

  1. Discard the soaking water from the beans and drain well.
  2. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees.
  3. Place a not too thick layer of beans on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast the beans until golden brown, about twenty to thirty minutes. Turn frequently.
  5. Season the beans while still warm to your taste, for example with curry, paprika, soy sauce, salt or pepper.
  6. Let the soybeans cool on a plate or in a bowl.

Smaller amounts of soybeans can also be roasted in a pan on the electric stove. Again, soak the beans overnight. Put the drained soybeans in the heated pan, but without adding fat. Roast the beans, turning them constantly, until they are fragrant and nicely browned. Place the beans in a bowl to cool and add the spices last.

Soybeans that have been roasted in the oven or in a pan can be kept for a few weeks in airtight jars.
