These are addictive little snacks. Crunchy and flavorful BUT actually good for you too! The spicier you get these the better imho! Plus, spicy foods are supposed to increase your metabolism! A reviewer said these made their mouth dry- Guess they might also increase my water intake! :) Make sure to get them good and dry before baking and they will cook more quickly.

Time 49m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans (chick peas)
cooking spray
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning, heaping
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
cayenne, to taste

Steps:

Drain garbanzo's in a strainer and rinse well with cool water. Shake to help remove water. Let sit to drain while proceeding.
Cover a rimmed cookie sheet or shallow casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour garbanzos on the foil and spread them into a single layer. Take a few sheets of paper towel and gently press over the top of the beans just to remove any extra liquid- speeds cooking time too.
Spray top of beans with cooking spray and sprinkle seasonings over the beans. Shake pan to help distribute the seasoning and make sure the beans are all in a single layer.
Place pan in an oven and set to 350 F- no need to preheat. Use lowest rack on oven and return every 15-20 minutes or so to shake the pan so nothing burns. Be gentle or they may spill over the sides. Cook until beans are browned and crispy. About 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and pour into a plastic bowl with tight fitting lid to cool. Careful they are HOT to the touch!
Snack away! Keep these stored in the bowl for best freshness or in a ziploc bag.

Tips:

Soak the chickpeas overnight: Soaking the chickpeas overnight helps to soften them and reduce their cooking time. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
Use a variety of spices: Chickpeas have a mild flavor, so they can handle a variety of spices. Some popular spices to use with chickpeas include cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and chili powder.
Don't overcook the chickpeas: Chickpeas are done cooking when they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked chickpeas will be mushy and bland.
Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrition to sautéed chickpeas. Some popular vegetables to add include onions, garlic, tomatoes, bell peppers, and spinach.
Serve with rice or bread: Sautéed chickpeas can be served with rice, bread, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Sautéed chickpeas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and iron. With so many different ways to prepare them, you're sure to find a recipe that you love.
