Garbanzo Bean Crunch
Just because beer is out doesn't mean we all don't love a salty crunchy snack every now and then. Beans and legumes are one of those ingredients that strict eaters are likely to avoid, but if you're in a great state of health (still avoiding gluten of course), there's nothing wrong with a handful of these savory, high-protein treats.
Truthfully, this recipe could be made with any bean of your choice, but garbanzos (or chickpeas if you wish!) get the best crunch while not imposing too much flavor on the finished dish. Here's what you need:
Garbanzo beans - Organic and from a can is fine. No need to soak your own here. This is a quick recipe.
Olive oil - Go for high quality here. You can use the rest for your simple side salads.
Spices - Salt, pepper, basil and oregano.
