Ingredients:
1 x 400g tin butter beans, drained
1 tbsp milled flaxseed
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds, crushed
1/2 tsp fennel seeds, crushed
1/4 tsp hot smoked paprika
Sea salt and black pepper
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp coconut oil, liquid

Method:
1) Preheat oven to 200 degrees C.
2) Pat the butter beans dry using paper towels (you can even do this step the night before to really ensure that the beans are dry).
3) Mix together the milled flaxseed, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds and salt & pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the maple syrup.
4) Add the butter beans to the spice mixture and stir to combine, ensuring the beans are evenly coated in the mix.
5) Drizzle a baking tray with the coconut oil and add the spice coated beans, turning them in the oil so that they are evenly coated. Roast for 15 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time. Remove and set aside to cool.
