Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen lima beans
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper /optional for extra heat
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 tablespoon parsley for garnish/optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add lima beans with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- Toss until the beans are evenly coated with the spice mix.
- Then spread the spice coated lima beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they’re golden and slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if needed, and enjoy warm.
Notes
- Adjust heat levels by controlling cayenne pepper or adding crushed red pepper for extra spiciness; omit cayenne for a milder snack.
- For best results, monitor the baking process closely, as oven temperatures may vary, and avoid over-roasting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
