Roasted Garbanzo Beans


In Season Ingredients: Garbanzo beans, olive oil, salt, pepper, zaatar.

I adore roasting.  It brings out such a burst of flavor in so many foods, one that often isn't achieved through other methods of cooking.  So this afternoon, I came home to a bare kitchen and went for the canned foods.  To jazz up these beans I rinsed them, tossed them in olive oil and some s&p but then thought they need a little kick.  Zaatar is a mediterranean spice containing sumac and I LOVE the its unique warmth.  I covered the beans, roasted them for roughly 25 minutes at 425 degrees.

Make them again?  Yes!  Before I knew it my snack bowl was empty :)

Improvements: I would consider trying the beans with different spices.
