I soaked, boiled and fried half of the batch, they tasted delicious but
weren't what I was hoping for, they remained soft and potato like in the
center.
The other half are still in the oven, hopefully drying as they roast.
I sprinkled them with a mix of paprika, chilli powder, garlic powder, celery
salt, sugar and salt. The flavour is nice but could do with being a little
stronger.

Yep, the roasted ones aren't bad, but I think I may need to use a different
type of bean. The ones I buy in packets are broad beans, and I've seen the
odd thing about navy beans I think.
Never mind the fun is in the trying as much as the eating!

Cooked butter beans or limas have the texture similar to baked
potatoes. I'm not sure how you would get around it.

The classic is chick peas. Dried broad beans or fava like to become
puree more than crunchy.
