Crispy Cinnamon Garbanzo Beans

Recipe from Rich Flores, RD, CDE

Ingredients

• 1 can garbanzo beans – drained, rinsed and dried
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons raw (or regular granulated) sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a bowl, toss the beans with the vegetable oil and sugar.
3. Spread them in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Roast them in the oven until crunchy and no longer soft in the centers, about 45 minutes. (Stir them a few times to prevent burning.)
4. Immediately toss the beans in a bowl with the cinnamon and salt.

Yield: 2 cups (1 serving = 1/4 cup)
