    that sounds yummy! what's the consistency like after they've been baked? how long do they last to store them? ever tried it with any other sort of bean, like black beans?

    This is one of my recent pinterest Nailed Its. As in, I tried one of the recipes floating around on Pinterest and it sucked. My beans turned out simultaneously grainy and chewy -- not at all the crunchy little delights I had hoped for.

    I actually cook a lot, so I should have trusted my instincts about the recipe (which called for seasoning the beans before baking, and a lower oven temp).

    Bumping this for later so I can try again following your instructions (which make a LOT more sense...).

    QUESTION FOR THE GROUP: Have any of you tried using dried garbanzos? I've always used canned, but am getting away from this entirely to better control my sodium intake. I have some dried garbanzos at home and assume they're prepared just like any other dried bean with a sorting, pre-soak, and boil.

    Thanks for sharing!

    bump, sounds great. I always love spicy nuts but almost every recipe I see has some sweet factor to them.

    I use garbonzo beans in my chili and prep them the same as the other beans - sort, soak, cook.

    To ensure that the roasted chickpeas resembles nuts you need to ensure that you dry it properly before roasting - I toss them in a bowl on paper towel..... once dry then into the oven :) taste as nuts :)

    Hey I have actually done this. And yes make sure it is dry. Either use a paper towel or air dry it.

    It reminds me of corn nuts, but better cause it's made with love.

    Yep--same sort of prep as any other dried bean. They freeze well, too. I do a large batch, then divide up to freeze some (and roast some). I dry mine, toss with olive oil, kosher salt, and nutritional yeast before roasting at a high temp (400 or a bit more). Then, I usually eat the whole freaking batch.

    I've pinned a recipe for chickpeas that is similar, and they turn out great. My problem is portion control. You can use all sorts of different seasonings. I haven't needed to season them before I cook them, either.

    I will say to be careful about storing them - I put them in an air-tight container and they got soggy.
