Appetizer Challenge: Roasted Garbanzo Beans

We decided to try a simple, easy recipe for our appetizer this weekend.

Roasted Garbanzo Beans
www.recipezaar.com/recipe/print?id=331939


Ingredients
2 15 ounce cans garbanzo beans (chick peas)
1 T cajun seasoning or creole seasoning, heaping
1 t garlic powder (optional)
1 t onion powder (optional)
cayenne pepper, to taste
cooking spray



BE CAREFUL with the Cayenne!!! Unless you like your food extremely spicy, I would recommend a pinch or dusting (very little) cayenne. I accidentally put too much cayenne in and while they beans tasted good, we could only eat a few because they just got to hot for our mouths. We let them roast for an hour instead of 45 minutes in the oven to ensure they were crispy and crunchy.

These would make a great snack to keep around the house to munch on when hungry. They are healthy and have a little zestiness in the flavor.

Bon Apetite!!!
