Crispy Cinnamon Garbanzo Beans Chickpeas Food

ACTUALLY CRISPY BAKED CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and set out a bare baking sheet (or more, as needed).
• Drain chickpeas well. If using oil, rinse well with water and thoroughly drain. If omitting oil, simply drain well and skip rinsing with water.
• Once drained well, spread the chickpeas out on a clean, absorbent towel and use your hands to gently roll and dry the chickpeas. Some of the skins should start coming off. You can opt to peel all of the chickpeas - which can help for extra crispiness! - or simply remove the skins that come off. Either way, the chickpeas will crisp up. I just found that peeling them does yield slightly crispier chickpeas.
• Transfer the chickpeas to a mixing bowl and top with oil (or omit) and salt. Mix well to combine. DO NOT add the other seasoning at this point - it can interrupt the crisping process, so wait to add until after baking.
• Bake for a total of 40-50 minutes or until golden brown and dry/crispy to the touch. I like turning my pan around and shaking the chickpeas around at the halfway point for even cooking. Note: peeled chickpeas cook faster than unpeeled. If omitting oil, they will also cook faster.
• Remove from oven and toss with seasonings (if desired) while still warm. Then let cool 5-10 minutes - they will continue crisping as they cool.
• Serve as is or atop bowls or salads! To store, place in a storage container or jar and DO NOT tightly cover. Instead, crack lid so they can "breathe" a bit. I found that this helped them stay crispy longer. These are best in the first day, but they will last for 4-5 days at room temperature. Alternatively, seal well and freeze up to 1 month.

CRISPY CINNAMON GARBANZO BEANS

Steps:

• 1. Soak the beans overnight in cool water. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.
• 2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
• 3. In a bowl, toss the beans with the vegetable oil and sugar.
• 4. Spread them in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Roast them in the oven until crunchy and no longer soft in the centers, about 45 minutes. (Stir them a few times to prevent burning.)

CRISPY CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Put the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or several paper towels and dry thoroughly. In a medium bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil to coat. Sprinkle with the smoked salt and toss again. Transfer in an even layer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake, shaking the pan halfway through the baking time, until the chickpeas are crunchy, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool at least 1 hour; the chickpeas will become crunchier as they cool. These are best eaten within 1 day.

CRISPY ROASTED CHICKPEAS/GARBANZO BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 415 degrees.
• Line sheet pan with foil, add the oil. When oven is almost preheated. Put pan and oil in the oven to heat up, until smoking hot and oven reach 415 degree.
• Drain beans, rinse well, strain. Pat beans dry on clean tea towel or paper towels, removing as much moisture as possible.
• Remove hot oil pan from oven and put beans into pan. Stir beans to get coated in the hot oil. Roast beans turning every 15 minutes until crisp. After a total of 30 minutes, turn oven down to 350 degree (to prevent burning) and roast another 15 minutes until beans are crispy.
• Remove from oven, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and spices.
• Cool completely and enjoy. Store in airtight container for a couple of days. May loose crispiness after a couple of days.

ROASTED GARBANZO BEANS/CHICKPEAS

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.
