Roasted Garbanzo Beans with Cajun Spice ...and...
My Blue Boys
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is one of our favorite fireplace and football snacks. There are exactly 4 ingredients in this recipe. It really doesn't get any easier than this. BUT. I'm currently experimenting with dried garbanzo beans that are soaked in water for 24 hours before proceeding with the recipe. Please stay tuned! I'm sure, that given enough time, I can complicate this recipe for you. Till then, here's the bare bones version using canned garbanzo beans.
Roasted Garbanzo Beans with Cajun Spice...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
Ingredients:
2 cups canned garbanzo beans, rinsed, drained and patted dry
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2) Toss garbanzo beans with oil, Cajun Spice and brown sugar in a small bowl. Mix well.
3) Place beans in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Sprinkle with coarse salt to taste. Allow to cool before serving. Yield: 2 cups.

I am definitely going to try this recipe for a party at my house this weekend!
Cute boys!
Garbanzo beans are a fav, so I will have to see if I can find them dried as this recipe looks very good!
And those boys, well, they are sooooo adorable! They make me smile from the inside out.
Your food is delicious and your boys are handsome then cute. Happy blue Monday.
Sounds like a most delicious football snack for sure.Sweet and spicy, nothing beats it!

Very surprisingly interesting recipe. Love those boys of yours. Special, special children.
Your little guy are so precious. I can imagine how much you are enjoying your time with them.
What a tasty little snack, Mary. I go for savory over sweet any day.
Cute little boys in blue! That looks like a healthy snack! Sounds good. Wishing you all the very best in 2010! Happy New Year! Sherri : )
I could make a meal of these! Your baby boys are adorable :) Isn't being a Grandma the *best*??
Little blue boys make a winning duo, Mary. Thanks for showing them. Happy New Year and Happy Blue Monday.
Such an easy and yummy sounding snack- thanks!
Your boys are adorable looking, Mary.
You have started us off right with another great meal. I truly loved the precious children pictures. So sweet.
Your boys are beautiful children... Your recipe looks delicious... hugs ~lynne~
I am going vegan for a month and this is a great snack idea. Thanks! P.S. Save yourself the grief and stick to canned beans.
O.K. I'll have to google "garbanzo beans" haven't a clue what they are!
Gorgeous blue boys, what a delight they must be.
Happy New Year from Normandy

I love these! Roasted garbanzos are fabulous. I think the dried, soaked and cooked ones are a little better - but the convenence of canned is worth it.
I like them with smoked sweet paprika and salt.
Great healthy snack!
Hello Mary! Happy New Year and Happy blue Monday to you! Those boys are so cute!! I really like garbanzo beans so this recipe is calling to me!
Maria, I'm so glad you found my blog. I hope you'll visit often.
This makes a healthy snack! great flavours!
These look yummy! Just wondering...any recommendations on storage, and how long the finished beans will keep before going bad? I am looking for snacks to pack for surviving my night classes, and if I could make a batch of these on the weekends and pack them as snacks for 3-4 days, that would be awesome.
Rebecca, I pack these in air tight containers and have been known to store them for 8 or 9 days.
Happy Blue Monday! Blue is for boys :)
You are so blessed with all of your boys. Raising my boy was the best thing I have done in life. Happy New Year Mary. Love the Garbanzo beans and I am sure you will tweak away!
This is so bizarre. All my life, I hated garbanzo beans. There was no way you could pay me to eat one! Suddenly, I love them! I just bought two cans of garbanzo beans-- one to make a three bean salad (my newest discovery I like)...and these look like healthy and yummy snacks!
Will you adopt me? When you publish your cookbook, I'm first in line to buy it!
PS: Sweet babes!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a note. I love the Popeye idea!! How creative. You are a fun mom and a great cook!!
Blessings for a glorious 2010 for you and your family. jean

This looks yummy. I've been cooking more since reading your blog -- one of my new year's resolutions is to prepare better dinners for my family. I'll have to post some pictures one of these days. And your little guys are so precious.

You are funny... I am sure I can complicate this recipe for you. I am sure you will enlighten us. You are certainly very clever int he kitchen!
I truly love roasted garbanzo beans--so delicious to snack on. I'll have to give this recipe a try with the Cajun spices.
I thought it is popcorn but when I read it is garbanzos my curiosity was awaken hehe. Thanks for the recipe.
Blue Monday:Christmas gifts
Love these - I make something similar - but not with cajun spice. And those boys - are stunningly beautiful!
Mary, every time I drop by just can't wait to see your grandsons! They're all so adorable especailly the youngest one! Another few more years, they'll be handsome teenagers. Haha... Well, you're a beautiful grandmother too, of coz! Eat more NUTS but don't go NUTS! Have a wonderful day.
Best wishes, Kristy
OH Mary your grandsons are so adorable! They remind me of my sons when they were babies :)))
and those garzanbo beans look so good ..ive nevr baked them before so Ill just have to make them soon .
This idea seems to be quite popular: I just saw it on another blog too.
Love chickpeas, but I think i'd take out the brown sugar.
Love the name of your blog...I plan to try this recipe today as I have some canned beans on the pantry shelf..
My favorite snack ever! Here is my variation http://cuceesprouts.com/2010/07/mission-statement/
I love garbanzo beans...great recipe, as always! You can use this Cajun Spice for any Cajun or Creole dishes. They can even turn your regular chicken curry in an exotic dish
Looks like tomorrow's after school snack! Can't wait to try them.
Where do you use the vegetable oil? It mentions it in ingredients but not in the recipe part.
kbray06, recipe has been changed to
include addition of oil with spice mix.
