Chickpeas Garbanzo BeansChickpeas (or Garbanzo Beans)
This is one of my favorite snack recipes.  It's quick, easy and versatile and is full of protein and fiber.  Feel free to alter the spices to your liking. :)

Ingredients:
  • 2 cans organic garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or coconut oil... though the coconut oil leaves a distinct taste)
  • Pink Himalayan Salt & Pepper, to taste 
  • Garlic Powder, to taste

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  • Empty chickpeas into colander and rinse thoroughly.
  • Pour chickpeas and olive oil into iron skillet or other baking pan. Use your hands to coat the chickpeas with the oil.
  • Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder (or other spices). Using hands again, move the chickpeas around to be sure they're coated.
  • Place pan in preheated oven.
  • After 5 minutes, remove pan and use a spoon or spatula to turn chickpeas.
  • Leave in oven an additional 5-7 minutes, or until chickpeas begin to brown.
  • Allow to cool.

Most people have commented that these are a lot like boiled peanuts... probably more the texture than the taste. 

They're great as a snack or to add to a salad for added protein and texture.  

And seriously... play with the seasonings.  I also make these using a creole seasoning -- a great spicy snack!

Enjoy!
