Roasted Garbanzo Beans/Chickpeas

Step 1

Drain garbanzo's in a strainer and rinse well with cool water. Shake to help remove water. Let sit to drain while proceeding.

Step 2

Cover a rimmed cookie sheet or shallow casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour garbanzos on the foil and spread them into a single layer. Take a few sheets of paper towel and gently press over the top of the beans just to remove any extra liquid- speeds cooking time too.

Step 3

Spray top of beans with cooking spray and sprinkle seasonings over the beans. Shake pan to help distribute the seasoning and make sure the beans are all in a single layer.

Step 4

Place pan in an oven and set to 350 F- no need to preheat. Use lowest rack on oven and return every 15-20 minutes or so to shake the pan so nothing burns. Be gentle or they may spill over the sides. Cook until beans are browned and crispy. About 45 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from oven and pour into a plastic bowl with tight fitting lid to cool. Careful they are HOT to the touch!

Step 6

Snack away! Keep these stored in the bowl for best freshness or in a ziploc bag.
