High Protein Snack
Some people enjoy raw garbanzo beans. They're not my favorite. However, when I add a few spices and cook 'em, they become one of my go-to snacks.
Here are three recipes using garbanzo beans.
Recipe 1:
3 cans 15-ounce can garbanzo beans (I always use three cans)
Olive Oil, Cumin, Cayenne Pepper, and Curry Powder
Directions:
Rinse beans in water, shake off water, pour into baggy, add a little olive oil and the ingredients (to taste - about a teaspoon), and shake them up. I enjoy them spicy, so, I pour on the pepper. Then place beans on tin foil on cooking pan. Bake in oven on 405-degrees for about 46-minutes. After the 46-minutes, turn oven off. After you turn the oven off, leave the beans in oven. I like them crispy. Adjust time to your liking.
Recipe 2:
3 cans of Garbanzo Bean with 3 tablespoons of Curry (prepare the same way as above, just use Curry - you may desire more or less Curry depending on personal preference).
Recipe 3:
3 cans of Garbanzo Bean with Garlic Powder, and Oregano (use one tablespoon for each spice - may vary according to personal taste).
Now eat 'em hot or cold! Enjoy.
