Let’s Get Cooking!
How to Make Roasted Cannellini Beans
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial for that lovely crispy texture we all adore!
- Rinse and drain the cannellini beans. You want them nice and clean, skip this step and you may taste that canning liquid, which is not ideal.
- Pat the beans dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This step is key to getting that crunch!
- In a mixing bowl, toss the beans with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings or herbs you prefer. Trust me, the seasonings add tons of flavor, don’t be shy!
- Spread the beans in a single layer on a baking sheet. This is where the magic happens! Make sure they’re spread out so they can roast evenly.
- Roast for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are crispy and golden brown. The smell will be so good!
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving as a snack or side dish. They’re best enjoyed warm but can be snacked on at room temperature too!
And voilà! You’ve made crispy, delicious roasted cannellini beans!

Serving and Storage Tips
How to Enjoy This Recipe
Roasted cannellini beans make a great snack on their own, but you can also add them to salads, grain bowls, or even as a topping for soups. I love pairing them with a fresh green salad to amp up the protein!
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. They do lose a bit of their crunch, but they still taste great!
Reheating Instructions
To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to get that crispiness back. You could even microwave them for a quick fix, but they won’t have that delicious crunch.
Freezer-Friendly
These beans can be frozen, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for that crunchy texture. Thaw them in the fridge and use them within a month for the best results.
So, grab that can of cannellini beans and let’s get cooking! Enjoy the journey of flavor you’re about to embark on and, of course, remember to share with your family and friends, if you can bear to part with them!
