These tasty (no-allergy!) nut alternatives are great to have out around the holidays. Give them to the kids in rolled-up parchment-paper cones (as shown). Ingredients:
1 cup dried garbanzo beans |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
2 tablespoons raw (or regular granulated) sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. 1. Soak the beans overnight in cool water. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. 2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
3. 3. In a bowl, toss the beans with the vegetable oil and sugar.
4. 4. Spread them in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Roast them in the oven until crunchy and no longer soft in the centers, about 45 minutes. (Stir them a few times to prevent burning.)
5. 5. Immediately toss the beans in a bowl with the cinnamon and salt. Cool and serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
6. Tip: For a savory snack, try tossing the beans with salt, paprika, and freshly ground pepper instead.
