With the holidays fast-approaching, it's easy to go overboard with all the baking. Unfortunately, many holiday treats aren't exactly the healthiest goodies out there, and if you're like me and have to watch what you're eating, sometimes you want a healthy snack that doesn't sacrifice flavor. One of my favorites is roasted garbanzo beans.
The recipe itself is pretty simple, and only requires a small handful of ingredients. Garbanzos are a great source of fiber, protein, and helpful antioxidants. Roasted garbanzos are a great healthy snack when you're craving something in between meals and also easy to take along with you if you're on the go (just toss in a zip top baggie and toss in your bag).
I used all spice and a few dashes of salt this time, but one of the great things about this recipe is the fact that you can switch things up with an endless combination of spices. Also, I tossed mine in some olive oil, but if you'd prefer to leave that out, you can also dry roast these and sprinkle the seasonings on as soon as you pull them out of the oven.
Roasted Garbanzo Beans
1 can garbanzo beans, drained
2 TBS Olive Oil
All Spice seasoning (to taste)
Large pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 375ºF and line a baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup).
Drain, rinse, and pat the garbanzos dry with a paper towel and transfer to baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle olive oil over the garbanzo beans and toss (don't be afraid to get messy and use your hands!) to coat evenly. Next, sprinkle all spice and salt (or your choice of spices) evenly over garbanzos and toss again.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, giving the pan a shake about halfway through to rotate the beans around.
