Garbanzo Beans

Garbanzo beans (or chick peas) have so many uses!! Here are a couple that I discovered (other than pureeing into hummus):

Spread garbanzo beans in one layer on baking pan. Drizzle with evoo and favorite seasonings (salt and pepper, or Jane's Crazy Salt, or your choice) Bake at 425 degrees for __

#1 - Bake for approx 20 minutes. The garbanzo beans become an almost nut consistency and are a yummy snack!

#2 - Bake for approx 15 minutes. The garbanzo beans are a less crunchy consistency and are still a great snack or side! (I like this consistency for toddlers.)

#3 - Bake for approx 10-12 minutes. The garbanzo beans are a little crispy but still a yummy bean-chewy. These are w.o.n.d.e.r.f.u.l when served as a substitute for rice in stirfry. You can drizzle a little soy sauce along with the evoo before baking and then serve as the bed for stirfry. If you are trying to cut back on carbs or just want your stirfry meals to last longer, this is a great option!
