roasted garbanzo beans and sweet potato chips

These recipes are 2 of my house favorites, my youngest(2 yrs old) loves my sweet potato chips that she actually asks for these on a daily basis. She even brings me my potato slicer asking for sweet potato chips. Sweet potato chips preheat oven to 450 degress slice one or 2 whole sweet potatoes peeling and all into thin slices I like to line my baking sheet with tin foil and also spray some non stick spray then place the sliced potatoes on the lined bakig sheet now this is where it gets fun i like a sweet savory yet a little spicy so i like to make mine as follows melt 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil add one tiny scooper of Kal stevia(you can order this online i think its the best stevia out there cause it doesn't have the nasty after taste) you can order herehttp://www.vitacost.com/kal-pure-stevia-extract-powder-1-3-oz-2?csrc=GPF-PA-021245391005&ci_gpa=pla&ci_kw=&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=021245391005&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=021245391005&gclid=CLnosunrt7gCFRSi4Aodo1IAqQ this small container lasts a long time and it comes with a tiny little scooper inside and that little scooper goes a LONG way then I baste my sweet potatoes with the coconut oil stevia mixture then sprinkle celtic sea salt and cinnamon and then a tiny bit of red pepper then bake for about 10 min then take them out and turn them over and do the same thing you did on the other side baste with the oil and stevia and then add your seasonings and put back in the oven make sure you watch them closely so they don't burn, they will look like my photo when done... Roasted garbanzo beans I like to refer to these as healthy corn nuts, my kids actually prefer these over the real corn nuts, which of course is a huge plus:) preheat oven to 425 degrees line your pan like above i use canned garbanzo beans just because I find it faster but you could always cook your own I take about 4 cans of garnanzo beans drain and rinse them then add a little coconut oil you could also use cold press olive oil i just prefer coconut oil then put them on the baking sheet and in the oven these will take about an hour or so to bake, once the start to look brown stir them around so they don't burn, these are very important that they are cooked all the way so they are super crunchy or they aren't very good. once they are done you can season them however you'd like I have done ranch using a ranch packet, or bbq using some liquid smoke and other seasonings like cumin powder, celtic sea salt, chili powder, you can also use some nutritional yeast, it's a healthy version of like parmesan cheese, it's a powder form i have actually seen it in the bins at some winco's. you can always add a little more oil if they are too dry at the end.
