Roasted Garbanzo Beans
Author: 
 
Healthy, crunchy snack.
Ingredients
  • 1-2 cans garbanzo beans (otherwise known as chickpeas) OR
  • 1-2 cups dried garbanzo beans soaked over night and paper towel dried.
  • Seasoning of choice (sea salt, xylitol, Cajun etc.)
  • Extra virgin olive oil or similar healthy oil ( for 1 can beans use aprox. ¼ tsp oil etc.)
Instructions
  1. Drain canned beans and paper towel dry OR take soaked beans and dry.
  2. Cover cookie sheet with foil and spray with no-stick if desired. Place beans in single layer on sheet with space for shaking.
  3. Bake 350 for approximate 1hr to 1 hr 20 min taking out every 20-30 minutes to toss or shake. Timing can be tricky. You want them lightly toasted, not dark. If they get dark they will be incredibly hard when cooled. Do NOT overcook.
  4. When toasted take out and cool.
  5. Place in bowl and toss in a TINY amount of healthy oil such as extra virgin olive oil. It takes very little to coat them.
  6. Toss in favorite seasoning to taste. I love Cajun seasoning with some xylitol or other healthy sweeter tossed in for a sweet spicy flavor.
  7. Store in air tight container.
