Kidney Bean Pepperoni

Cook and Prep Time: 45-50 minutes

Serves: about 30 slices

You Need

• 15oz. Kidney Beans, rinsed & drained
• 2 t Garlic Powder
• 1 t Fennel Seeds
• 1 t Mustard Powder
• 2 t Smoked Paprika
• ¼ t Star Anise
• 2 t Coconut Sugar or Date Sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. Line 1 baking tray and preheat your oven to 400˚F.
2. Add all of your ingredients to a food processor, and pulse until smooth.  Scraping down the sides as needed.  Adjust seasonings as needed.
3. Transfer the mixture to a lined baking tray.  Spread the mixture out evenly, so that it is about ¼ inch thick (you can go thinner if you want, so long as the thickness is as uniform as possible).
4. Bake for about 25 minutes, until it has slightly dried out and golden brown.
5. Then, take a small cookie cutter to cut out each piece of “pepperoni.”
6. Feel free to add them to pizzas, sauces or chili.  Enjoy!
