Equipment

Ingredients

2 (15-oz) cans black beans Rinsed, drained, and pat dry.
1 tablespoon no salt taco seasoning

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 and line rimmed baking tray with unbleached parchment paper.
Rinse beans. Drain. Rinse again. Transfer drained beans to a kitchen towel and pat dry.
Place beans onto prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Use a paper towel to gently remove any remaining moisture.
Sprinkle with taco seasoning and use your hands to mix well without smashing the beans.
Place seasoned beans in the oven and immediately turn the temperature down to 350. Cook for 15 minutes. Mix carefully---either roll the pan back and forth or use a wooden spoon. Place back in the oven for an additional 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a week.

Notes

Taco seasoning: It is easy to make your own with a combination of pantry spices. Use my No Salt Taco Seasoning Recipe, or look for a variety that is low in sodium.

Black Beans: If reducing sodium is important to you, look for canned beans that are labeled "low sodium" or "no salt added." You can make your own black beans from scratch, but keep an eye on them to make sure they're not overcooked. Al dente beans are best so they don't get mushy when roasted.

Cooking time may vary based on your oven. You may need an additional 5-10 minutes. In my oven they are done at the 30 minute mark. Also, keep in mind, the beans will continue to crisp up as they cool.
