Garbanzo Recipes

this IS a main dish !

A delicious snack or side (traditionally called Tapas)

I actually got the basics of this recipe when I went to a tops meeting with my mother in law! Get em crispy enough and they are soo tasty! Like eating chips or popcorn but without most of the guilt because they are so jam packed with protein and only have under 200 calories a serving. It feeds four as an appetizer but I'm not gonna lie, I've sat down and had em for lunch and ate an entire batch! They even have a good amont of fiber so enjoy!

I copied this shrimp salad from Applebees spinach & shrimp salad it is a favorite in my house and oh sooo easy!!

A great dish I just tossed together--spice more or less to your liking! Has a small mexican feel with the spices I use (read description!)

European & Full of Flavor

This is my modification of the vegan "tuna" recipies, but rolled in nori so that bread can be avoided.

Alternative to baking brownies with flour - adds a little fiber to your diet. Easy to prepare. For variety add raisins or walnuts.

Light and colorful, delicious as a side dish or a small salad, it compliments any meal, especially good with salmon or fresh tuna.
Has a light, nutty flavor

This salad is super crunchy and fresh yet satisfying and nutritional!

A vegetarian Tuscan white bean soup recipe using chickpeas. This gourmet vegetarian soup is flavored with crushed red pepper flakes, fresh Italian herbs and sun-dried tomatoes. Tuscan bean soup healthy and filling. Try it as a full meal with some crusty artisan bread and perhaps a side salad.

A flavorful, low fat curry sauce excellent with brown rice. Can be used alone as a main dish, or with chicken or fish.

This was an idea for pancakes that works better as a biscuit.

This delicious salad is served cold. I can also be served on a bed of lettuce with added parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar.

A high protein, high flavor vegan salad that makes a nice side dish.

Garbanzo beans with various spices
Also known as Chana Masala or Chole Punjabi Style
Vegetarian
Quick and easy to make, I sometimes share with my husband or keep some for the next day. I usually will eat it with 1 slice of WW bread (Calories for bread not included since it is optional)

One of my favorite dishes. It's easy to make. I plan ahead and prepare a larger quantity of garbanzo's than needed then either freeze what's left or use them in something else.

This salad is nicely paired with some toasted Pita and makes a great addition to your brunch.

Made this one up to feed me and the boys on Mom's night out. Too spicy for her. Great on Jasmine rice.

A great Snack!!

Roasted Garbanzo beans sprinkled with Kosher Salt & Chicken Grill Seasoning (no chicken in it).

This recipe is directly from skinnytaste.com with no modifications.

I typically omit the cheese and might add in some carrots or red bell peppers.

Swap these crunchy garbanzo beans out for croutons on any salad.

I cut the recipe by a 1/3, brought the quinoa down to 2 cups cooked, and skipped the tomato

wanted to try something new - like the crunchy taste! I found the idea off a site called Selfish Vegan.

Sugar free, flour free, egg free. A guilt free dessert. :-)
