Crispy Spiced Soya Chunks Snack

1Start by boiling 2 cups of water in a pot. Once boiling, add the soya chunks (1 cup) and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and have expanded. Drain the soya chunks (1 cup) and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.

2In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil (2 tablespoons), cumin powder (1 teaspoon), coriander powder (1 teaspoon), paprika (1 teaspoon), turmeric powder (½ teaspoon), garam masala (½ teaspoon), salt (½ teaspoon), black pepper (¼ teaspoon), and lemon juice (1 tablespoon). Mix well to create a marinade.

3Add the drained soya chunks (1 cup) to the marinade and toss until they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

4Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

5Spread the marinated soya chunks (1 cup) evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure they become crispy.

6Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the soya chunks (1 cup) are golden brown and crispy.

7Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves (¼ cup) before serving.
