Ceci Fritos

Snack time! Ceci is italian for garbanzo beans. This treat is a great alternative to popcorn or potato chips. I often make these instead of popcorn on movie night. They are simple and versatile. My favorite version is finished with cracked black pepper and parmesan cheese, but any flavors can be added to these little gems. Curry, chili powder or feta are some options I've tried in the past. Get creative!

Ingredients

1 15oz can garbanzos beans

2 tsp olive oil

Cracked black pepper

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions

Rinse and drain garbanzos beans. Pat dry with paper towels. Make sure they are completely dry. 

Heat olive oil in a saute pan. Add garbanzos beans and saute. Beans will start to pop. Continue heating, shaking pan until beans are toasted. Place in a bowl. Season with lots of cracked black pepper and toss with parmesan. Best when hot, but can be kept in the fridge for 3 days or so.
