Roasted Garbanzo Beans
Roasted Garbanzo Beans are easy to make and really tasty. This version is from Canyon Ranch Spa and is a popular substitute for high-fat nuts at parties and a nutritious solution for both brown bag lunches and after-school snacks. In fact, they are so simple to prepare that even young children can do it with just a little supervision. And, of course, if the kids make them they are much more likely to want to eat them.

I was recommended this recipe by my vegan M.I.L. Used up a pantry item when we were out of something salty and crunchy. REALLY good!
Probably make these once or twice a month. Easy to use all different flavor blends. Taco. Asian. Indian. They are always good!
I found and made this recipe on your site — it’s great!
Great!
Surprisingly addictive! I added a spicy salt blend as well.
