Start by Cooking your Dry Garbanzo Beans. This is a healthier, more cost-effective option than canned beans.
Spicy Roasted Chickpeas
This is probably the most simple recipe!
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chickpeas
2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
sea salt (optional)
Preheat over to 400 degrees.
Place chickpeas in a large bowl. Add oil and spices. Toss (mix) to coat. Place spiced chickpeas on a large pan or casserole dish. Bake for approx 25 minutes.
Once these delicious little nuggets cool down I usually top my spinach salad with a handful.
Tangy Chickpea Toss
In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped tomato, 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp olive oil, 1/8 tsp garlic powder, 1/8 tsp salt, and black pepper to taste. Allow everything to marinate in the fridge for approx 3 hours.
This is great as a salad topping or over brown rice.
Veggie Chickpea Salad
