Roasted Garbanzo Beans

We are moving, and with the joy of moving comes trying to figure out what to do with all the stuff in the cupboards. Pack it up into our small moving space or try to eat as much of it as we can; it looks like we're doing a mix. A few weeks prior to moving I sat in front of the cupboard, pen and paper in hand, and tried to figure out what tasty meals I could make using mostly what I had on hand, and having to buy very little, so the next month or so of posts is some of what I came up with.
Ever since I started making hummus, I have a stock pile of garbanzo beans. I buy the bulk box once or twice a year from the warehouse store, which satisfies my hummus fix, but now I don't want to have to box up and travel with this many beans, and although I love hummus, I can't eat it everyday, so I tried out this recipe. I got the idea for this recipe here, and then made a few of my own changes with what I had in the cupboard.

Roasted Garbanzo Beans
  • 1 Can Garbanzo Beans
  • 2 T Olive Oil
  • 3-4 Garlic Cloves (grating it works really well)
  • 1/2 T Cumin
  • 1/8 T Chili Powder
  • Dash of Salt
  • Parsley
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour olive oil in a pan, mix in garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Toss in drained garbanzo beans. Bake about 30 minutes (it creates a nice aroma in the house). Garnish with parsley once cooked.
Pretty simple and pretty tasty. Next time I'd like to try it with the feta, I love feta!
