1. If you forget them and they toast really, really dark

they'll be a fantastic Depression Coffee. My ex liked it better than any commercial blend.

3. You're kidding!

You mean like chicory, or some such alternative "bean"?

4. I kid you not. I did it once

and the nearly black chickpeas smelled so much like coffee I ground it up and brewed it for my ex that night.

I didn't do it often, it tended to smoke the place up, but it was appreciated when I did. I never did make toasted chickpeas, the fake coffee was too good to waste them.

2. Excellent idea...

I've finally done things this month like get a dehydrator and make Kale chips (yum), and THIS should be an easy recipe. My goal is to replace the highly processed high caloric stuff in our pantry, as it all too easy to eat through a bag of nuts.

I'm gonna try this one!

5. Remember to peel the beans

Take the time to squeeze the peel off each garbanzo bean before baking, otherwise the seasoning sticks to the peel, which falls off the bean.
