  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

  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

  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 tried to separate ways of flavoring them. after roasting approx 15 min I took it out and used some more no salt Italian seasoning salt. These were so much more flavorful I will always use this technique - 6/24/15

  Oh, man, these are going to get me into trouble. I only used olive oil cooking spray, salt and pepper and it was difficult to stop eating them! I have to wonder, though - what's the best way to store them for later? Do they reheat? - 9/10/13

  I love them. I've made them twice. I have the seasoning process down (and use half the oil of the recipe), but the crispiness isn't' consistent for me. This recipe is worth the trial and error for me. I tried the first time with soaked dried beans, but they were chewy. - 2/5/13

  Brilliant idea! Mine are in the oven now, but I kept eating them as I was making them - I used olive oil, sea salt, a bit of cayenne, and worcestershire sauce...YUM! Can't wait to try them from the oven! - 10/3/10

  Very good! I sprayed w/ ICBINB spray and made half w/ chili & cayenne pepper and half w/ black pepper & garlic Mrs Dash. Tasted great, but I think maybe I need to let them cook a little longer b/c only about 1/4 of them were crunchy (I baked for 45-50 mins). Definitely worth another try though! - 7/2/10

  These are really good! I overcooked mine a little and a few of them burned - next time I'll check them every 10 minutes instead of every 15 - but they were yummy. I used fajita seasoning with a little cumin and some chili powder, and snacked on them all afternoon. - 7/6/09
