Ingredients
- 1 can red kidney beans
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon BBQ spice rub
- as needed salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Rinse and drain the kidney beans. Place in a bowl and toss with the liquid smoke, BBQ spice rub, salt, and sugar.
- Place the kidney beans on a parchment lined cookie sheet and spray with olive oil.
- Roast for 30 to 40 minutes in the oven until very crispy. If they are still soft inside, continue to roast in 5-minute increments, until perfectly crispy. They will crisp up even more as they cool.
- When they are done, allow to cool, and keep in an airtight container.
