​We should probably call these “Joe’s Garbanzos” because my father-in-law, Joe, makes the best chick peas I’ve ever had. I think food just tastes better when it’s prepared by someone who loves you. And there’s no doubt, I hit the lottery with my father-in-law, Joe. He’s got a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off his back.
 
These chickpeas are the perfect healthy snack or addition to any salad. I typically make them on a Sunday so I have them on hand throughout the week.
 
Joe always uses Goya dry garbanzos, so that’s what I use.
 
For flavor, you can add smashed garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, thyme, lemongrass, or any other flavor bomb you fancy.
