Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




2 cans (15 ounces each) Garbanzo beans or 3 cups cooked dry-packaged Garbanzo beans, rinsed, drained
Butter flavor cooking spray
4 cups toasted wheat, corn or rice squares cereal
2 cups pretzel goldfish or pretzel sticks
1 package (8 ounces) chopped mixed dried fruit (2 cups)
1 package (6 ounces) dried pineapple chunks (1 cup)
1/2 cup roasted pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon paprika


Recipe



Dry Garbanzo beans well on paper toweling. Place beans in large skillet and spray generously with cooking spry. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they begin to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.

Transfer beans to jelly roll pan and bake at 350F. until browned and beginning to crisp on the outside, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer beans to large bowl; add cereal, pretzel sticks, dried fruit, pineapple chunks and pumpkin seeds.

Combine Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic and onion powder and paprika; add to snack mixture and toss to coat well. Spray mixture generously with cooking spray and toss. Transfer mixture to roasting pan.

Back snack mix at 350F. for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Cool; store in air tight container at room temperature.

Variation:
Sweet Bean Snack Mix
Make snack mix as above, substituting 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon apple juice for the Worcestershire Sauce and 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg and 1 teaspoon ground allspice for the chili, garlic and onion powders and paprika.

NOTE: Although B.E.A.N. recipes usually call for a specific variety, any canned or dry-packaged bean variety can be easily substituted for another.
