Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, gently toss the drained and rinsed garbanzo beans with the corn oil, sea salt, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Transfer the seasoned garbanzo beans to a shallow baking dish or sheet pan, spreading them in a single layer for optimal crisping. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally to promote even browning, until the garbanzo beans are golden and delightfully crisp. (20 minutes)

05

Step

Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir in the toasted pistachios and chopped fresh thyme, distributing them evenly among the beans. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Return the dish to the oven and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the pistachios are lightly toasted and the beans reach your desired level of crispiness. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Serve immediately as a vibrant and flavorful side dish, or allow to cool slightly and enjoy as a satisfying snack.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after roasting.
Toast the pistachios lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the beans to enhance their nutty flavor.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices, such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, or rosemary, to create your own unique flavor profile.
Store leftover roasted garbanzo beans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.
