Who wants an easy snack for the kids?

Here's my easy recipe for a kids snack:

Open 1 can of garbanzo beans (yes, they are also called chickpeas). Put them in a colander and rinse them off. Take a cookie sheet and spray it with Pam. Dump the garbanzo beans on the sheet (you could also sprinkle with salt or some other herb/spice) and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes (every once in a while take a spatula and mix them around a bit) or until they are dried out and crispy. Put in a bowl and let the kids snack on something high protein and high fiber. You could also enjoy these on a salad instead of croutons.
