SURPRISINGLY CRISPY ROASTED GARBANZOS

There is always a story when I cook or bake!

This one was when I was conquering clutter in my kitchen area. I found this can of garbanzo beans, which will be expired in a month!
And I found someone I am following on Instagram that she was snacking on it too, homemade as well! So, I googled how to prepare it and planned to use ingredients in my pantry.

So happy and proud of myself!

I ate it all by myself for 2 days. I really did like it & feeling good eating a snack-conscience and costs free! I did not even do measurements! I just drizzle and sprinkle!

So here is my version of it and I am calling it:

Surprisingly Crispy Roasted Garbanzos

Ingredients:
•1 can garbanzo beans
•olive oil
•Cajun seasoning

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Drain garbanzo beans in a strainer and rinse with water. Allow all water to drain out.
(I just left it in my kitchen sink while I was vacuuming?)

Lay garbanzo beans on a paper towel and blot/roll until skin separates from the beans.
Discard the skins.

Place your beans on a baking sheet and drizzle olive oil over the beans and toss around to coat.

Roast the beans for 30-40 minutes until they are golden brown and crunchy.

Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle beans with Cajun seasoning.

Serve immediately.
