This was outstanding. I reduced the amount of pistachio nuts(unsalted)to half a cup and put them in the food processor for a rough chop and flavor to go through the dish. I also reduced the salt to 1/2 teaspoon. I had the leftovers the next day, they were great when cold too. Thanks Tensmom.

I had to make a few changes to this recipe based on what I had in my kitchen. I used olive oil, red pepper flakes and dried thyme as substitutes. I also added 1 tsp garlic powder. This tastes best after it has cooled.
I made this without the pistachio nuts as a salad topper. The flavor was excellent without being too overpowering. I liked them salty. They'd make a great snack too. Thanks! There should be more recipes with garbanzo beans/ chick peas.
This was very good. It was simple and easy to make. It was on the salty side so I recommend reducing the salt used.
So different and delicious! I halved the cayenne and cumin to make it a little less spicy, but it still had heat.

I thought that these were really interesting, and I didn't think that I liked Garbanzo beans. Turns out they're pretty good cooked (vs. raw) and I liked the spice blend. Husband thought they were too salty so I'll try omitting that next time.
Instead of cayenne pepper, I used chipotle pepper seasoning, and instead of fresh thyme, I used the dried ground variety. These made a tasty snack Next time I will be inclined to find fresh thyme, though!
Yum! Used roasted salted pistachios as that was all I could find. Omitted the salt because of it. Would probably add a touch of salt in the future.
I liked the flavors but will have to try again since it never got crunchy or crispy.
