Ancho Chili Roasted Garbanzo Beans

Ingredients:
  • 15.5 oz. canned garbanzo beans
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt (depending on if you use low sodium soy sauce) 
  • 1/4 teaspoon McCormack® Peppercorn Medley
  • 1/2 teaspoon ancho chili powder

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.


Directions:

Drain, rinse, and thoroughly dry garbanzo beans.

Toss will all ingredients in a bowl.

Spread out on a pan with lined with parchment paper.

Roast for 45 minutes, turning them over every 15 minutes.


Myrtle's Note:  I modified the recipe bit, first to accommodate the use of low sodium soy sauce and second because I have learned that if you are adding heat, it helps if you had a bit of sweet in recipes like this.  Some turned out crunchy all the way through, almost like nuts.  Some were crunchy on the outside and soft inside.  I cannot decide if I prefer either more than the other.  While I am a fan of hummus, I am not actually a fan of garbanzo beans.  So, this was an interesting recipe to try.  I think I would serve them to my super healthy friends, but I would rather, myself, stick with Maple Chili Roasted Pumpkin Seeds.
