I’ve been reading about crispy roasted garbanzo beans all over the food blogs but it wasn’t until I found Stephanie O’Dea’s slow cooker recipe that I was ready to try them for myself. These crunchy little beans are as addictive as I’ve heard.
They’re similar in texture to corn nuts but with all natural ingredients. I went with spicy lemon cumin seasoning for this batch but am eager to experiment with other flavors. I think they’d be great with finely ground dried Harissa, Creole seasoning, or even cinnamon and sugar. What seasonings do you like? I’d love some recommendations.
Ingredients
- 2 cans no salt added garbanzo beans
- 1/2 tbs powdered garlic
- 1/2 tbs powdered onion
- 1 tbs cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground chipotle
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans before adding them to the crockpot.
Prop open the lid of the crockpot with a chopstick or skewer. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, stirring occasionally.
When all the beans are crispy, remove to a bowl and season to taste. Yum!
