Ingredients
2 (16 oz) cans chick peas (garbanzo beans), drained - reduced sodium, preferably1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil1/2 tsp salt1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper1 tsp dry Italian dressing mix1 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Drain beans and rinse thoroughly, shake off excess water. Transfer to large, dry skillet. Heat beans over medium heat to dry them. When all the water has evaporated move beans to a jelly roll pan and drizzle them with 1 tbsp olive oil. Stir using a rubber spatula until all beans are coated with oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and dressing mix. Stir again to evenly distribute.

Bake for 30-40 minutes, at 10 minute intervals and stirring after each interval. You'll know they are done when they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside. They'll crisp up even more when cooled.

Let cool completely before sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. This step can easily be omitted.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

    The Indian version does not use cheese and opts for spices such as mustard seeds, cumin powder and chili powder - 4/21/20
