Two more ideas this week for beans.  I'm trying to think outside the box here and assume these posts are for the kids that don't like beans in all their traditional glory.  So, that's how we got the next tip.

Tip #4 for Getting your kids to eat beans is to roast them! We've always enjoyed roasted soy nuts. They have 12 grams of protein in one ounce!

Then yesterday, we tried roasting some chickpeas.  They also turned out pretty good.

I got this idea, and other seasoning ideas on this blog.  So, first, I drained and rinsed a can of chickpeas.

Then we spread the beans out on a cookie sheet with foil, and dried them with a towel.

Then we sprayed with canola oil, sprinkled parmesan cheese and salt.

Roasted in the oven at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

This snack is super easy to make, and super healthy for the kids!  They can eat them plain, you could sprinkle them on salads or add them to trail mix!

Are your kids eating beans yet?  Need more ideas... come back tomorrow.
