CRISPY GARBANZO BEANS

Steps:

• Spread out the garbanzos on a baking sheet and let them dry, uncovered, in the refrigerator overnight. (If you forget to let them dry overnight, it's okay; you'll just need to cook them longer.)
• Place the bacon in a large skillet over medium-low heat and cook until browned and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate; reserve the fat in the pan. Eat the bacon as snack while you cook.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the dried garbanzos to the pan with the rendered bacon fat. Season with a generous pinch of salt and add the rosemary. Cook over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, then remove the rosemary sprig. Transfer the garbanzos to a baking sheet and bake until crispy, 35 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. (If you did not dry the garbanzos overnight, bake them for 45 to 50 minutes.)
• Let cool to room temp before serving.

GARBANZO BEAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep skillet, using medium-high heat. Stir in the garbanzo four with a whisk until it is lightly browned and exudes a nut-like fragrance. Remove from heat and cool. Add 2 cups of water, nutritional yeast and tamari and place over low heat, cooking and stirring with the whisk until the gravy begins to thicken, Add 2-3 cups more water to make a smooth, gravy-like consistency. Now add the herbs(fresh if you can get them.) Cook the gravy until it is smooth and creamy, adding lemon juice at the very end of the cooking. This gravy freezes very well for future use.

ROASTED GARBANZO BEANS/CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Drain garbanzo's in a strainer and rinse well with cool water. Shake to help remove water. Let sit to drain while proceeding.
• Cover a rimmed cookie sheet or shallow casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour garbanzos on the foil and spread them into a single layer. Take a few sheets of paper towel and gently press over the top of the beans just to remove any extra liquid- speeds cooking time too.
• Spray top of beans with cooking spray and sprinkle seasonings over the beans. Shake pan to help distribute the seasoning and make sure the beans are all in a single layer.
• Place pan in an oven and set to 350 F- no need to preheat. Use lowest rack on oven and return every 15-20 minutes or so to shake the pan so nothing burns. Be gentle or they may spill over the sides. Cook until beans are browned and crispy. About 45 minutes.
• Remove from oven and pour into a plastic bowl with tight fitting lid to cool. Careful they are HOT to the touch!
• Snack away! Keep these stored in the bowl for best freshness or in a ziploc bag.
