Roasted Garbanzo Beans Recipe
These roasted garbanzo beans (a.k.a. roasted chickpeas) are easy to make, healthy, satisfying, and cost about a dollar to make. I like this recipe because it’s a great alternative to expensive store-bought snack mixes. And it’s much healthier. Garbanzo beans are full of protein and fiber.
Roasted garbanzo beans are nothing like canned garbanzo beans. Once roasted, they turn out very crunchy and light. There are a perfect on-the-go snack. Enjoy!

Roasted Garbanzo Beans Recipe
Substitute your favorite dried spice blend if desired. Leave these in the oven as long as necessary so the garbanzo beans get completely dry and crunchy - up to 45 minutes or more, depending on your oven.
Ingredients:
1 15 ounce can garbanzo beans
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprikaDirections:
Preheat oven to 400F.
Drain garbanzo beans and rinse with cold water. Remove excess water by patting with a paper towel.
In a mixing bowl, coat beans with olive oil. Add spices and mix well. Spread out on a large baking sheet. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or more, or until garbanzo beans are completely dried and crunchy.

We made these last week as a Christmas time snack. With all the cookies and fudge this week it made me feel like I was making an attempt at health anyway!

Oh yummy – I just adore chick peas and I’m always looking for new ways to eat them. Never tried them roasted before (I can’t believe I haven’t!). These remind me the “wasabi peas” I buy from the Japanese supermarket sometimes. Definitely going to try these sometime – thanks for sharing this delicious looking recipe

delicious! I, too, love beans and am always looking for new, easy ways to cook them. I think this recipe would be good with just about any sort of spice blend you can imagine!

I literally just whipped these up. Delicious. Now I have a way to use up the cans of chick peas without buying tahini for hummus. Great snack for tomorrow’s road trip. Too bad they’re too spicy for my kids, but I think they’ll try it in a tamer version.

Annoyed because mine burned to a crisp after 35 minutes and I was really looking forward to them! I should have shaken the pan a few more times. I only did so after 10 minutes. Next time I will keep the oven at 375 instead of 400.
