THE INGREDIENTS

Roasted garbanzo beans are coated in a mixture that contains olive oil, salt, coarse ground black pepper, cayenne pepper (optional), garlic powder (optional), and smoked paprika (optional).

The main ingredient is a pound bag of chick peas (also known as garbanzos or garbanzo beans).

WHAT ARE CHICK PEAS?

Chick peas, also spelled chickpeas, are known as garbanzos or garbanzo beans. They’re small, round and nutritious.  Colors range from tan to dark brown to black.   

 

Garbanzo beans are often used in many Indian and Middle Eastern recipes.

They’re called โ€œgramโ€ in India and in the Middle East.

 

HOW TO COOK “DRY” GARBANZOS

Follow instructions printed on the back of the package.

Use the overnight soak or the quick soak method before cooking. 

Soaking will decrease gas and help them to cook faster.  

Freshly boiled garbanzo beans

 

DRAIN THOROUGHLY BEFORE ROASTING  

Make sure cooked beans are thoroughly drained and dry before roasting.   

To remove water, spread them out in one layer on a thick, clean dish towel or 2 folded paper towels.  Gently pay dry with more folded paper towels.

Avoid squeezing beans in a thick towel because it will crush them.  

 

HOW TO USE CANNED GARBANZOS/CHICK PEAS 

Instead of dry, use 2 cans (15.5 ounces each). 

Thoroughly drain and thoroughly rinse. 

Arrange them in a single layer on top of two or three folded paper towels.

Pat dry with another folded paper towel. 

Continue with recipe’s instructions.

 

ROAST WITH OR WITHOUT THE SKIN 

Consider removing skin from each bean to decrease moisture and to help them roast faster.  This step is optional because roasted garbanzos with the skin on are delicious. 

Following are the steps for removing the skin just in case that’s what you want.

First, place a layer of 3 paper towels on the counter.

After removing skins, spread beans in a single layer on top of paper towels.   

Gently pat tops with more folded paper towels to absorb moisture.

PREPARE TO ROAST

Drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.  Toss to evenly coat.

Place pan in 350 degree preheated oven for 20 minutes. 

Remove and gently stir.  Return to oven for 15 to 20 more minutes OR until garbanzos have reached desired crispness.

Watch closely to prevent burning.

HOW TO STORE ROASTED GARBANZOS

Make sure the roasted beans are thoroughly cooled BEFORE placing in a zippered bag. 

If the beans are hot, the steam will cause them to soften. 

Do not refrigerate.  Keep tightly sealed bags on the kitchen counter.
