Roasted Garbanzo Beans

I was going through my pantry and found tons of canned food that I had long forgotten about. Among the stash, I found not one, but two cans of garbanzo beans. Why I needed two cans of garbanzo beans, I have no idea.

Eager to make use of these beans before they expire, and not in the mood for hummus, I decided to make some kachang (roasted nuts or beans) instead.

These are soooo easy to make. Firstly, empty the liquid out of the can of garbanzo beans. Give the beans a good rinse with water to get the slippery coating off.

Pat dry with paper towels. You'll find the skin on the garbanzo beans will come off easily, toss the skin.

Lay them on a baking tray and drizzle with some olive oil.

Bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 45mins or until the garbanzo beans are crunchy. Remove from the oven and season with a little salt and any seasoning of your choice. You can use Cajun seasoning, or just about any seasoning you like. I made guacamole a couple of days back and had some leftover guacamole seasoning so I used that.

Toss and tuck in!
