# Instructions:
01 -
First things first, let’s set that oven to 400°F. I always forget this part and end up waiting forever! The anticipation is real, and so is my hunger!
02 -
Drain and rinse those garbanzo beans thoroughly. Honestly, you want them dry so they get crispy. I once skipped this and ended up with sad beans that just wouldn’t crisp up!
03 -
In a bowl, toss your beans with olive oil, chili powder, salt, and a squeeze of lime juice. I eyeball it all—sorry, not sorry—but you do you! Just don’t forget the salt; it’s a game-changer.
04 -
Spread the beans on a baking sheet. This is where the magic happens! Keep ’em in a single layer for optimal crunchiness. I always scatter them too close together; oops! Crispy beans are the goal!
05 -
While your beans are roasting (They should be golden and crispy in about 20-25 minutes!), chop up your cherry tomatoes and cilantro. I like to give a little extra love to my chopping skills—no squishy tomatoes, please!
06 -
Once the beans are out and cooled a bit, combine them with the tomatoes, cilantro, and a final squeeze of lime juice. The aroma is divine! Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. You do you; make it yours!
# Notes:
01 -
Don’t forget to rinse and dry the beans-crispy is key! A common mistake? Overcooking the beans. Keep an eye on those little guys! Adding a pinch of sugar to the lime juice can brighten the flavors even more!
