Roasted garbanzo beans are extremely affordable and can be seasoned in so many different ways. The key to making them extra crunchy and delicious is to roast them long enough. See recipe notes, below.Roasted garbanzo beans recipe: A cheap and healthy snack. Repin to save!

These roasted garbanzo beans (a.k.a. roasted chickpeas) are easy to make, healthy, satisfying, and cost about one dollar to make.

One dollar!

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, whether you’re taking your kids to school or traveling by plane.

You might want to make more than one batch, because they take a long time to bake. And because you’ll probably eat them all in one sitting.

Important Recipe Note For Crunchy Garbanzo Beans

Roasted garbanzo beans have to be baked long enough to get crunchy. Take your batch out at the 35-minute mark (see recipe, below) and try one. If it’s not completely crunchy in the middle, continue roasting until it is.
