Roasted Garbanzo s

For each recipe below the beans are prepared the same. Drain and rinse the beans until there is no foam remaining when you run water over them. Let beans drain a few minutes then pat dry slightly with paper towels so spices will stick. Roast on a baking sheet, shaking the pan every 10 minutes or so (The beans will burn easily). They should be crunchy on the outside as well as crunchy on the inside. They will actually lose the bean taste when roasted. You'll see that you can either mix the beans with the oil and the spices or spray or brush the baking sheet with the oil and sprinkle the spices on.
