I’ve made this recipe several times, tweeking the seasonings to reflect my mood, but this version is my all-time favorite. These Crispy Crunchy Cheesy Chickpeas make a healthy snacking option but they are also terrific atop a hearty rustic soup, whole wheat pasta dish, or an autumn salad.

For the best crispy results, be sure to really make sure the garbanzo beans are dry before adding to pan. To assure the little beanos maintain their crispiness, be sure to cool completely before storing away any leftovers (but realistically, there won’t be any left!)

Crispy Crunchy Cheesy Chickpeas (recipe slightly adapted from Cooking Light Magazine, Aug 2016 issue)
