Pulses and nuts are a great source of essential nutrients and form a large percentage of my diet. While I predominantly add them into my cooking, they also make great snacks, especially when roasted with a bit of extra seasoning. These roasted cannellini beans came about after realising I didn’t have any chickpeas in the cupboard! 😱 But I thought, if you can roast chickpeas, why not other beans and so this recipe was born.
They make a delicious alternative to chickpeas and work well with Italian seasonings like sage and rosemary. They are now a staple snack on every hiking trip.
