Ingredients
1 15.5oz can Garbanzo Beans/Chickpeas - sometimes I find them at the grocery store with the rest of the beans... other times with the Mexican food section although not really sure why...2 Tbsp. Olive Oil -- Or enough to coat the beansSeason to your liking (See cooking instructions)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Rinse and drain beans and place in bowl with enough olive oil to fully coat. Add seasoning and shake until mixed thoroughly.

Season beans to your liking:
1. Garlic and Pepper
2. Tabasco and Taco Seasoning
3. BBQ Sauce
4. A1 Sauce

Bbq sauces take a little longer in the oven to get the beans crispy than dry spices. Line pan with aluminum foil and spray with non stick cooking spray. Spread beans evenly so they aren't on top of each other.

Roast for apx 30-45 minutes checking every 15 minutes and shaking pan so beans don't stick. When beans are brown and crunchy remove and enjoy!

     I tried this because I was looking for a healthy snack, however my husband tried them and now makes them himself trying all kinds of different flavor combinations. To save money, we buy dry garbanzo beans in bulk and soak them overnight before using this recipe. Cheap and healthy!! Awesome!! - 3/15/09

     I used only 1tbsp. of olive oil and seasoned them with garam masala, cardamon, red chile powder, and ground ginger. They were good right out of the oven, but they got soft the next day. I think maybe I needed to let them cool more before I packed them away. - 4/19/09

     These are very good. I seasoned with chile powder, a little cayenne pepper, and sea salt. My only complaint is that at about the time when they were finished cooking, they began popping and exploding all over my oven! So they made a mess, but I would make them again in a heartbeat. - 3/14/09

     I don't use any olive oil. I spray the pan with an olive oil spray but none on the beans at all. I used canned and rinse well. I'd like to experiment with dry beans and soaking.. The seasoning I use is salt/garlic powder/red pepper flakes. SOOOO yummy! - 1/13/11

     I did this as you explained, they were good, using dried beans, tho. Knowing what they should tast like, I tried my own variation. I used "I can't believe its not butter" spray. Lowering the calories to 110 (beans) will continue to make it this way for a more buttery taste and less calories! - 4/6/09

     Great! Made 2 batches tonight, one with roasted garlic and pepper seasoning and one with parmesan and herb seasoning blend. I roasted the beans about 2/3 of the way before adding oil and seasonings to avoid burning the seasoning (it's happened to me before). Delicious! - 10/21/12

     I recently lost my wasabi peas from my menu due to the fact they have gluten in them so will try these.
    If you have issues with someones recipe due to being crispy on the outside and damp inside it might be your oven. buy a cheap oven thermometer, it will make for happy cooks. - 8/14/09

     I let these cook for 45 minutes and the never really got crispy. They were slightly crunchy outside, but the insides were still mushy. They'll probably go in the trash. - 2/22/09
  • TAMRACLOVEC
     Excellent! I used 2C of dried/cooked beans and used 2T of Mrs. Dash bottled marinade - Garlic Lemon Herb. Really great!! I roasted them about an hour and they were dry, but not crisp. A few got really well done and I liked them better. Will roast longer next time! - 1/18/11
  • FRENCHTOSD
     I used rinsed, canned garbanzo beans and some chili spice. I cooked for a total of 1 hours and they were nice and crunchy. Good recipe! - 9/20/09
  • AMISKIMINS
     These were awesome! I made my first batch w/o oil and used maybe 1/4c BBQ sauce. Watch out this is an addicting snack! - 5/20/09
  • UPSTAIRSMARJ
     These were great! I think I might roast them a little longer next time, and will definitely try some other flavors. I used Vegetable Supreme seasoning. Very satisfying! - 4/18/09
  • WENDY805
     Love this recipe. I used Emerils Bayou Blast as the seasoning. My kids ate all of them right out of the oven. Absolutely will make again Thanks - 4/3/09

     Been thinking of making these for a while now. They ate very tasty. - 8/4/20
  • SARAHEILEEN76
     I am enjoying these at this very moment! I sprayed w/oil instead of tossing them, and used salt and pepper. Looking forward to trying with many other flavors. I appreciated this simple recipe, as I am far from a great cook, and I feel successful! Thank you for sharing! - 7/8/20

     200 calories for 1/4 cup. I will stick to popcorn in a paper bag. If you can afford the calories, this sounds tasty though. - 2/12/20

     I've been doing something similar with peanuts, and have been wanting to expand my consumption of chickpeas. This already has my mouth watering. - 6/29/19
