Crunchy Garbanzo Beans

Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• 2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon turmeric
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 -1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 -3 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or garlic salt)

Recipe

• 1 pre-heat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
• 2 drain and raise beans.
• 3 dry beans as much as possible (i roll them around in a linen towel). the dryer the beans are, the faster they will crisp up.
• 4 in a tupperware container, combine all spices and toss to mix.
• 5 put beans into a bowl large enough to easily mix.
• 6 pour ~2 tbsp of olive oil on them. toss to evenly distribute the oil.
• 7 shake some of the spice mixture over the beans. toss.
• 8 repeat until the beans are covered to your liking. (i usually add spice just two times. this leaves me with enough spice for about 3 batches (or 6 cans) of beans.)
• 9 spread beans into a single layer on a cookie sheet (preferably one with a lip).
• 10 bake for ~60 minutes.
• 11 shake/stir the beans every 20 minutes or so.
• 12 allow to cool before sealing in a bag or container or they will go a bit soft again.
