Ingredients and equipment:
Dry raw soybeans
A pot with a lid
A sieve or strainer
A baking sheet
A wooden spoon or spatula
Instructions
Makes 2 cups of soy nuts
Step 1
First, rinse the soybeans, then place them in the pot and cover them with water.
Put the lid on the pot.
Let the beans soak for at least 8 hours, though soaking them overnight is best.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (Fahrenheit).
Step 2
Now drain the soybeans.
Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Let them bake for about 15 minutes.
Then stir the soybeans and check them for crispness.
They should be completely dry and crunchy.
It's best to stir and check the soybeans every 5 minutes.
In total, they take about 30 minutes to cook.
Step 3
Once fully roasted, let the soybeans cool completely before eating.
You can also add spices or other seasonings such as salt, onion powder, curry powder, or tamari.
Place the roasted soybeans in a bowl, add your seasoning of choice, and stir until well combined.
Your soy nuts are ready.
You can store these roasted soy nuts in an airtight container for a long time.
For storage, however, it's best to choose a kitchen shelf that isn't exposed to excessive heat or direct light.
Also, never put soy nuts in the refrigerator or freezer.
The cold causes these crunchy beans to lose their crispness and freshness and to absorb moisture from the air.
You can serve these delicious nuts at afternoon tea or enjoy them as a snack.
They also make a healthy, natural snack for students that, besides being tasty, offers many benefits.
