I love garbanzo beans in almost every way. They are so good for you and so versatile. Hummus, roasted, rice & beans, and yes, even sometimes in desserts! Crazy right? I was getting my snack jars ready for the week and decided that they needed just a little more something to them. Nuts and beans are an excellent source of protein, so do it up!

What do I need?

• 1 can of garbanzo beans
• 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp pink salt
• 1/2 black pepper
• curry powder to taste

How do I make this?

So the first bit is a pain in the rear, but it makes a huge difference if you decide to skip this step.

• Drain a can of garbanzo beans, rinse them, and peel the skin off of them (squeezing them slides it right off) If you leave the skins on them you will not get the same crisp, it will end up steamed in the middle instead of roasted.

• Pre-heat your oven to 400.
• Dry your garbanzo beans thoroughly.
• Transfer your beans to a bowl and drizzle with evoo then sprinkle with curry powder, pink salt, and black pepper.
• Pour onto a baking sheet in a single layer.

• Bake for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, shake the pan around and bake for another 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, shake the pan around and bake for another 10 minutes.
• Let cool to store in an airtight container or mason jar, or you can serve warm just like popcorn!

Other Ideas:

Roasted garbanzo beans don’t just have to be savory like I said before. Here are some ideas of other seasonings you can use for them.

• Ranch mix ( https://misscherise.home.blog/2019/09/09/homemade-ranch-seasoning/)
• Cinnamon sugar
• Cocoa powder with a little bit of cayenne pepper (Mexican hot chocolate idea)

Send me some ideas for next time. Just remember, anything you can make, I can probably make vegan!
