Soy-Snack Fix-Ups

Dry-roasted soybeans are now readily available. You can turn them into a great crunchy snack in less than 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread 8 ounces dry roasted soybeans (2 cups) in an even layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the beans with your choice of the following spice mixtures:

• 1-1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed; 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt; and 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1-1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

1. Bake for 5 minutes or until just heated through, shaking pan once. Remove from oven. Cool.

2. Store for up to a week in an airtight container. Eat plain, toss in soups or salads, add to hot baked potatoes, or mix with popcorn or other party mixes. Makes 2 cups.
