1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and get out a large baking sheet.
2. Drain garbanzo beans, rinse, and drain well. Put garbanzo beans in bowl and pour olive oil in, tossing to coat the beans well. Spread garbanzo beans out on baking sheet.
3. In small bowl, mix together the seasonings. Sprinkle 1/2 seasoning mixture evenly over garbanzo beans on baking sheet, shake beans to coat, then sprinkle remaining half of seasonings over beans, and shake again to coat.
4. Put in preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, shaking to mix up beans once during baking time. Garbanzo beans are done baking when they crisp up; adjust your cooking time accordingly.

Don't take these out of the oven too fast. Let them get good and browned and crispy. Dump them out onto a paper towel or paper bag to let them cool off a bit before handling.
Now you can snack on them or use them as a topping for green salads, soups, or casseroles.
This basic recipe can be adjusted to suit your taste, too. Use different spices and herbs to change things up a bit, or make them more kid-friendly. Keep a bowl on the counter at all times for hungry kids to grab a handful - what a healthy snack!
