Best Recipe for Crispy Garbanzo Beans
Ingredients
- Two 15-ounce cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 strips bacon
- Salt
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Watch how to make this recipe.
- Spread out the garbanzos on a baking sheet and let them dry, uncovered, in the refrigerator overnight. (If you forget to let them dry overnight, it's okay; you'll just need to cook them longer.)
- Place the bacon in a large skillet over medium-low heat and cook until browned and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate; reserve the fat in the pan. Eat the bacon as snack while you cook.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the dried garbanzos to the pan with the rendered bacon fat. Season with a generous pinch of salt and add the rosemary. Cook over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, then remove the rosemary sprig. Transfer the garbanzos to a baking sheet and bake until crispy, 35 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. (If you did not dry the garbanzos overnight, bake them for 45 to 50 minutes.)
- Let cool to room temp before serving.
