Wheat Free Cilantro-Lime Roasted Broad Beans

Crispy, smoky, and bright with citrus, these roasted broad beans are the kind of snack that disappears faster than you can set the bowl down. Canned fava beans get tossed in olive oil and a punchy spice blend — cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, a hint of cayenne — then roasted at high heat until they turn deep golden and satisfyingly crunchy. The real trick is patting the beans completely dry before they hit the oven, which is what gives you that addictive crunch instead of a chewy result. Once they come out of the oven, a hit of fresh lime juice, lime zest, and chopped cilantro transforms the whole thing into something that tastes way more exciting than it has any right to be. Every ingredient here is naturally free of wheat, so there's no swapping or substituting required — just straightforward, whole-food cooking. They work as a party snack, a salad topper, or an afternoon pick-me-up when you want something savory and crunchy without reaching for a bag of chips.
