RECIPE: My Tea Group loved rec: Spicy Toasted Garbanzo Beans and Pistachios

[barb_b]

I washed the chickpeas, dried them really well, and toasted them for 20 min at 400'. Cooled, then proceeded with the linked rec. I did add some garlic powder and some chili flakes, cause I like things a bit spicy. It was a nice compliment for the wine and cheese party. One reviewer suggested adding some crasins, which I may do next time.http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/spicy-toasted-garbanzo-beans-and-pistachios-107685

So...you roasted them twice? Do they need that much drying out?

 

[barb_b]

Yup.... Followed suggestions from the rec, they were from a can, and they would definitely have

been too "beany" if not roasted first. I'm sure they would have tasted good, but they would not have been "light" like a chip, if I did not do the first roast.

I went back and read reviews. Sure looks like lots of possible variations. Thanks!!
