    Hummus of course! I also like to roast them in the oven with some olive oil, cumin, garlic powder (or whatever you like).

    Chickpea and Pasta Soup
    http://soupspiceeverythingnice.blogspot.com/2014/01/chickpea-and-pasta-soup.html
    Serves 6

    Ingredients

    2 Tbsp. olive oil (more for garnish)
    1 spring of rosemary
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 anchovy fillets
    1 medium onion, diced
    2 medium carrots, diced
    2 ribs of celery, sliced
    1 bay leaf
    1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
    1 (15 oz.) can Italian diced tomatoes
    2 (15 oz.) cans chickpea, drained and rinsed
    6 cups water
    3 tsp. chicken bouillon
    1/4 tsp. black pepper, or to taste
    1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes, or to taste
    1/2 cup Gemelli pasta, dry (or any other small shape)
    Kosher salt to taste
    Parmesan for garnish

    Directions

    Heat oil in large soup pot or 
Dutch oven over medium heat. Add rosemary sprig, garlic, and anchovies and saute 1 minute to melt the anchovies. Add onion, carrots and celery, saute until onion has softened. Add the bay leaf and thyme, stir to combine and bloom the dried thyme.

    Add tomatoes, chickpeas, water and bouillon. Season with black pepper and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer 20 minutes. Remove rosemary sprig and bay leaf. Carefully remove a cup of the chickpeas, vegetables and broth. Puree in a blender and return puree to the pot, stir into the soup to thicken the broth.

    Add pasta, and cook 10 minutes or just until pasta is al dente. Taste for seasoning and season with salt and more pepper, if necessary. Garnish each serving with Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.

    Falafel! I would love to deep fry them, but I find that baking or a shallow fry (if they're in patty form) is just fine. I like it also because I can make it as a full dinner. I try to make meatless meals that my husband will also enjoy and falafel is definitely one that's made it onto the list!

    I throw them in any chili or soups I make. I love the creamy, smooth addition they make. Blend well with so many flavors.

    These 150-cal garbanzo bean and potato based veggie burgers are AMAZING. I must've made them at least 5-6 times already:

    1 Can tuna (I use bumblebee solid white in water)
    1 oz Onions
    1tblsp olive oil
    2 tblsp red wine vinegar
    Salt and Pepper to taste

    Mix it together

    I eat this concoction often! I love it but it might not be for everyone.

    Side note: The same recipe w/o the beans is how I usually eat my tuna. I'm not a mayo fan!

    Super simple recipe ~ Olive oil, seasoning, salt & pepper, mixed in a bowl with a drained can of garbanzo beans. Spread on a pan and bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes, flipping once midway. ~ Awesome yummy snack!

    Any way they come so this thread was awesome for some new ideas! I could eat chickpeas everyday! My four year old loves them so much that she named one of her stuffed animals Princess Chickpea.

    Always drain and rinse your canned garbanzo beans.

    Spray a cookie sheet with canola. In a bowl mix your rinsed and mostly dried off beans with salt, black pepper and smoked paprika. Bake at 400 deg for 5 min or so, stir them around, then cook until they finish crisping up. Any seasoning will do - lemon pepper, we used a chili-lime bbq rub, etc. Endless possibilities.

    Saute beans and fresh spinach with a little good olive oil, sprinkle with cumin, salt and pepper. This is a tapa served all over spain.

    Crispy garbanzo pita - I use 1/2 the amount of oil called for:

    3 tablespoons olive oil
    2 15.5-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
    3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped, plus 1/2 cup whole parsley leaves
    3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    4 plum tomatoes, diced
    4 pitas or pieces flat bread, warmed
    1 8-ounce container hummus
    1 small red onion, thinly sliced
    1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
    1/2 cup plain yogurt
    1 lemon, cut into wedges

    Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chickpeas and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
    Remove from heat. Add the lemon juice, chopped parsley, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper and toss.
    In a small bowl, combine the whole parsley leaves, tomatoes, and the remaining oil, salt, and pepper.
    Divide the bread among 4 plates and spread with the hummus. Top with the chickpea mixture, onion, and hot sauce. Serve with the parsley salad, yogurt, and lemon wedges.

    I like putting them in chili. I have made a habit to use 3 different beans when making chili and garbanzo is one of them (black and traditional kidney are the others).

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch:

    Rinse and drain 1 can of chickpeas, then toss them with a little olive oil, sugar free maple syrup, splenda, and lots of cinnamon.
    Roast at 420 for 35-40 minutes

    Hummus of course =)
    I also like to mash up chickpeas with a fork, add a squeeze of bbq sauce and throw it on a bun with some spinach and peppers
    And chickpea tenders - pretty sure if you Google it, a dozen recipes come up. If you season it right and don't overcook it, it's a very similar taste/texture to chicken but without the cholesterol or saturated fat

    I never thought of roasting them. I was happy to just make hummus and have them in soups and salads. This is now on my list for tomorrow
