This recipe turns out super crunchy, salty, protein and fibre loaded, and simply delicious. It’s all about seasoning and roasting white cannellini / kidney beans. Not to mention, this ingredient is inexpensive! They kind of “pop” in the oven adding an extra crispy crunch to this snack or salad topper.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425F (220C).
2. Rinse and thoroughly drain the cannellini (white kidney) beans. Pat them dry to ensure maximum crispiness.
3. In a bowl, toss the drained beans with EVOO, salt, and pepper until well coated.
4. Spread the seasoned beans in a single layer on a baking sheet.
5. Bake for 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are super crunchy and some have "popped."
6. Once baked, remove from the oven and, if desired, toss with finely chopped rosemary and additional Tajin Spice.
7. For the dipping sauce, combine tahini, ACV, and Tajin Spice in a small bowl and mix until smooth.
8. Serve the protein "popcorn" warm with the dipping sauce.
