ROASTED CHICKPEAS (GARBANZO BEANS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Drain and rinse a 15.5 ounce can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans). Pat very dry between two paper towels and allow to air dry for 10-minutes. *Residual moisture will cause the chickpeas to steam rather than roast and get crisp.
• Toss chickpeas with olive oil and salt
• Place chickpeas in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet in the oven.
• Roast for 15 minutes, shake the pan, and cook for additional 15 minutes. Check to see if done. If not continue cooking. and continue roasting until crispy, about 30-40 minutes total.
• Once crunchy, sprinkle with pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder and cook 5 more minutes.
• Remove from sheet pan and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the pan
• Serve in a bowl, or store in a sealed jar

FRESH SHELLIE (SHELLY) BEANS

Steps:

• 1. Pick through beans for debris, and other foreign particles, then wash & drain.
• 2. Add the beans to a medium size pot, Add in the celery, onions, garlic, ham and spices. Add enough water or chicken broth to cover beans. Cover with a tight fitting lid, and bring to a boil. Skim off any accumulated foam. Lower heat so beans will simmer. Proceed to cook on medium high until beans are tender.
• 3. Check pot periodically to make sure beans are still covered with liquid, and replenish as needed. Continue cooking until beans are tender or as desired. Stirring occasionally I cooked mine about 1 1/2 hours. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
• 4. Serve as desired.
• 5. I served mine with a skillet of Southern Style Corn Bread. I enjoyed every morsel.

SAUTEED CHICKPEAS/GARBANZOS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil and saute onions for 2 minutes, stirring.
• Add garbanzo beans and saute 7 minutes more, stirring frequently.
• Add reserved bean and tomato juices, cumin, chili powder, and salt and cook, uncovered, on low to medium heat for 5 minutes to reduce sauce to gravy consistency.
• Add drained tomatoes, mix well, and serve.

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.
