Even heat is the key. I used a combi oven with zero humidity and fan at medium speed.

Interesting, would the convection setting on a normal oven work?

Absolutely. Before I got my combi I used a convection oven.

You're welcome. Every oven is different (except the pricey ones). So, experiment around. Just make sure that the favas are in a single layer. Parchment paper makes for really easy cleanup.

Probably gonna sound dumb but what's the recipe? Can I used canned beans? Or do they have to be dry? I wanna try this

The fava beans started off as dried beans, which were soaked overnight, then cooked in gently boiling, salted water for about 35 to 45 minutes. The next step is to remove the skins by allowing them to cool enough to allow the squeezing of each bean, which will remove the thick outer, plastic-like skin. They were given a light coat of olive oil and seasoned. The seasoning can be any savory seasoning and is only limited by ones taste. These were baked on a single layer atop a sheet of parchment paper on a rimmed , insulated cookie (or biscuit) sheet until they begin to brown. Because they will retain some moisture, they are stored in the fridge to lengthen their storage life. Allow them to reach room temperature before consuming. They can be purchased already cooked and seasoned at Asian grocery stores, at about three times the price of the uncooked product. They are usually labeled as "horse beans." They will still have their skins intact. https://wholesaleunlimitedhi.com/products/horse-beans
