Ingredients

Ingredients:

1 14.5 ounce can of Garbanzo beans
kosher salt and pepper
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Drain the garbanzo beans and gently pat dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a resealable plastic bag shake together flour, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper and granulated garlic. Add garbanzo beans and toss to lightly coat.
Shake off any excess flour. Lay garbanzo beans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Bake 25-35 minutes, shaking the baking sheet every 10 minutes or so to roll the beans around. When they are done they will be golden brown and crunchy. (Note: Keep an eye on them towards the end, if they look like they are getting too dark remove them, a few of mine burned and let me tell you a burnt garbanzo bean is not so tasty.)

Notes

When I gave Ryan one to try he replied "Well that is different." Those are not really words that a cook wants to hear, I mean different could meant awesome and delicious, or it could mean that that is the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten. However, my worries disappeared when he ate the whole bowl and asked for more. :) Enjoy!
