Roasting Winged Bean Seeds




 1. Harvest and Clean:
   - Harvest the winged bean pods when they are mature but not overly dry.
   - Remove the seeds from the pods and clean them thoroughly.

2. Boil or Blanch:
   - Bring a pot of water to a boil.
   - Blanch the winged bean seeds in boiling water for a few minutes. This helps to soften them and prepares them for the roasting process.

3. Drain and Dry:
   - Drain the boiled or blanched winged bean seeds and allow them to dry. You can use a paper towel to pat them dry.

4. Seasoning (Optional):
   - Optionally, you can season the seeds with your preferred spices or flavors at this stage. Common choices include salt, pepper, or other seasonings of your choice.

5. Roasting:
   - Preheat your oven or a stovetop pan.
   - Spread the winged bean seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the pan.
   - Roast them until they are golden brown and have a crunchy texture. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes in an oven at 350°F (175°C). If you're using a stovetop pan, stir the seeds occasionally to ensure even roasting.

6. Cooling:
   - Allow the roasted winged bean seeds to cool before consuming. They will continue to harden as they cool down.

Roasting brings out a nutty flavor in the winged bean seeds and gives them a satisfying crunch. It's a tasty and nutritious snack option. Keep in mind that you can experiment with seasonings and roasting times to suit your taste preferences.
